How do you find out about these things? does Microsoft send you an e-mail or do you google it or what?

I just read stuff on their site. Google for vista pricing, see what you find. I don't think anything is definite yet, but there are estimates
 
I think that it's coming out in November this year, I could have just gotten that confused with the PS3, but I'm pretty sure that Vista is scheduled to come out in November though.

Its a whole new operating system. Just get the beta cd and try it out, then you can make the decision if its better then xp pro for yourself. As for system requirements check on Microsofts website. And they can be found here.

Well thanks for that, doesn't mean you will get it though. A few months back they offered free flash drives with info on licensing and copyright or something like that. I know a bunch of people who sent it in, and absolutely no one I can find got one. But its worth a shot.

I know a guy who gotta flash drive....
 
No, it is the full version, almost exactly the same as it will be when released. I am running it right now as a dual-boot system.

Exactly what he said, and you know you can just download it from a bit torrent and have it in a few days :)

It is a resource hog, that is for sure. I almost think they made it to force people to upgrade their computers or something. Otherwise I see no excuse for it.

It's not really better than XP Pro. It has some more advanced features in it, but it doesn't have the hardware support that XP has or even close to it because it is still in beta. Not to mention that I have run across several applications that won't install on it.

It's fun to play with it, and I run it as my main OS, but I have next to nothing installed. If your computer is your life I suggest sticking to XP at the moment.
 
I hope this thing comes with a product key, it's the only thing I need. I have build 5472, so I'm not installing this back to build 5456 or whatever the beta 2 was.

If you dont have a valid CD-Key that can be activated, you can only use Vista for 14 days. If you have the CD-Key from Microsoft, you can use Vista for a year or so.
