Yes very nice, Home premium is looking good, as long as its kind of like pro now. We'll have to see the prices when it comes out though.
That would be nice, but be ready to fork over a few hundred bucks at least even for the oem version, if not more. You never know how high microsofts prices will be.SC7 said:I really hope I can get my hands on Vista Ultimate.

Hmm, I don't think vista will turn out to be a flop, as Microsoft is really pusihing this, and they won't release a far better kernel so soon afterwords. (this has exausted their R&D for a while). There are also a lot of things that are going to require vista, and in the end, it will do well. However, that still large population of old machines may get left behind. (Linux???). As for upgrade CDs, the original Mac OS X 10.1 update CD which was free over 10.0 for current users, actually worked as a regular installer.PC eye said:Ah gee? I only paid $200- for a cd, book, and retail box when buying 98SE. I bought MSDos 6.22 along with WIN 3.1 for far less for an IBM 386. A copy of a 95 upgrade disk was given to me later when I swapped the IBM for the AST 486 in a barter for parts. I didn't even need to have 3.1 on to install 95 from the upgrade disk just by typing setup at the dos prompt while at the cd drive. I hope Vista doesn't turn out to be another flop however like ME was.
PC eye said:The premium edition would be the one looked at here IF they ever get the IE 7.0 isues worked out that comes along with Vista. The beta version was a nightmare trying to get rid of it. That was a definite "flop" there. One main problem with that release was the "about blank" popup windows that appeared after closing out Windows Explorer windows. Right then an IE 7.0 windows would come out of nowhere. many trying that soon were forced to perform repair installs on XP systems. Back to those simple 95 days would be so much easier there.
I would go firefoxjp198780 said:i would stay with IE6, what i got...
Since when? I use both Yahoo and Google toolbars in Firefox. And it uses Ask Jeeves, Dogpile, and other ones also.PC eye said:The one thing missed with FireFox is the abilty to addon a toolbar of choice there. You are stuck with Google only for a search engine.

1. There are plenty add on tool bars.PC eye said:I run both here. When running a search with IE all you get is adbots and malwares if you hit the wrong site! The one thing missed with FireFox is the abilty to addon a toolbar of choice there. You are stuck with Google only for a search engine.
