Ca-razy...did previous OS's cost this much? You could buy so many different components for a computer that would benefit much better for the 300$. I think the price alone will make me hold off on buying vista, for a desktop at least.

As I've said before, I'll only be getting Vista as OEM when my current computer needs replacing. Could be a year or more.

Nah, i think ill stick it out with XP a little longer.

MrJohnDough

**** no.
because vista needs lot's of resources to run fast:
high end video card
2gigs of memory etc.

I put it in the my parents pc:
asus P5B-E(I wish I ordered deluxe, but decided to save)
2gb of g.skill memory DDR2 PC2 6400. runs 800mhz at 1.8v. will overclock it later when I learn about overclocking.
e6300 core 2 duo.
evga nvidia 7800 GT 256mb.
250gb perpendicula recording seagate baracuda.

so windows xp are blasing fast, now. I don't know what will happen
when I overclock everything.
I thought it's gonna be waste of money even though my bro uses maya and photoshop on large files. but now windows vista home basic will keep this system busy.

but it's too much load on laptop with 1gb memory and on board card. d rather make xp pro look fancy with skins and have my laptop work fast than put vista which will take all resources away.

i think im gonna wait a year, or until the first service pack, then im going to go out and buy a brand new pc for it

I've had it since early december, I got it free from uni, but its useless as nVidia haven't released the graphics drivers for my geforce go 7900 512mb yet, so it's installed using a crappy res and colours lol.

geek 0001

I might get it when the price goes down, but I wont get it immedietly.

first off no home user needs to even buy ultimate. no home user would ever need to connect to a domain network in their home. So there is really no practical reason a home user would need ultimate. people would buy it just to say they have "ultimate" its a marketing scheme.

Secondly, vista runs like crap and XP has already shown to out perform it in almost every bench mark. Granted its always like a 3 ~ 7% over vista on average. However, if MS wants me to fork over money for their new OS it should at least be a better product over their previous OS. As of right now it is not a better product. It may look pretty, but its not better.
