Windows Vista

[thekillerdoctor]

Anyone have it already?? My mate does and has sent me some screenies of it:

 

[jamgla]

looks pretty good, but i think my processor sucks **** , so probs wouldnt work

i like that recycle bin tho

 

[Gregor]

its only worth getting if you have like 2 gigs worth of ram, otherwise all it will do is make your computer look good and run slow

 

[jamgla]

2 gigs :yikes: , i only got 512mb

 

[Boozad]

Looks OK but Microsoft are taking far too much notice of their competitors. WMP is a **** poor rip-off of i-Tunes for starters, and those screenshots look a lot like a Mac.
I wouldnt touch Vista for a while yet anyway. Remember how long XP took to be reliably stable?

 

[Kris]

Yea xp is goiing a good job for me and i think im going to wait a few years when they have it sorted and im ready for a new pc

 

[Sean]

I have Windows Vista Business installed but I can't really use it yet as there are no drivers for my linksys wireless network card

Apart from that it seems nice and flashy. You can switch to a 'windows 98' style theme if you dont want to use all your ram on just the OS itself.

 

[Lloyd]

Could of known Sean would have it

 

[thekillerdoctor]

Lol......How comes he has everyting as soon as it comes out...He had FM 07 before it even came out....i wanted it!! !!

 

[Gregor]

Windows Vista has been floating about for at least a year thats why

 

[Sean]

I get it for free from my university as well...which is always nice. I definately wouldn't have it yet if I had to pay!

 

[Lloyd]

ooo nice one

 

[thekillerdoctor]

free?! My school is poor :irked: STILL HAVE WINDOWS 2000!!!!!

 

[Sean]

It's because they are a member of the MSDN Academic Alliance so we have free access to most Microsoft products

 

[Lloyd]

That why you go to that uni then sean

 

[jamgla]

our school has really gud computer ****, cos its a specialist school for computing

 

[Lloyd]

Wish ours was, instead it specialises in Technology (when teachers are *****) and sports, when the equipments ***** too.

 

[Mikey B]

free?! My school is poor :irked: STILL HAVE WINDOWS 2000!!!!!

[thekillerdoctor]

Ha ha...my library don't have comps...only ripped up books.....

 

[HoneyMonster]

I work at a school as a techie and they still use 2000 cause its more stable on there network. I also know someone who beta tested both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of vista and he said wait a year till its more stable.
