The only way I will upgrade to Vista is when alot of DX10 games come out that I'd like to play. I tried vista last week and wow..... after about 2 hours trying to get sound drivers to work i was looking for a knife to cut myself. There are so many reasons I don't like vista but unfortunately we will be forced into upgrading at some point.

I'm planning on building a new system later this year. When I do I will most likely install Vista for my OS. But I will not "upgrade" my current machines to Vista! Also like Regen I'm really only interested in DX10. Now I've heard that DX10 will never be available for XP, but if it ever does become available then I wouldn't be interested in Vista until support for 64-bit really takes off.

I bought a copy of WinXP 64-bit and it was a huge disappointment. No Drivers really, no applications, no benefits at all really if you weren't some kind of developer. I'm sure 64-bit Vista is just the same. Hopefully Microsoft will actually try to promote it, since Intel now has 64-bit extensions. But as far as I'm concerned the real "next big thing" is a decent 64-bit OS.

Vista is a useful tool for measuring someone's intelligence/personality. You just ask them how they feel about Vista. Fast and accurate.

i got a laptop with vista home premium on it, and the support was ok, the drivers were shit, and it had trouble doing aero. so i put the laptop back in the box and will not open it until better drivers are avaliable.

I don't see any good reason ti upgrade to Vista. Hell, I already got "Vista" (XP with Vista XP theme ).
Anyway, I may upgrade to Vista if they fix it so it proves to be better then XP. Untill then XP ROCKS!

When I do upgrade, it will be an upgrade from my XP Prof, but if I dont like it I wont be able to go back to XP without buying XP again. In any case my XP install is quite redundant except for games ( everything else on ubuntu). Wont go onto Vista untill a few months after halo 2 comes out.

Well, atm is prety crazy migrate Vista.
I think that we must wait first to any DX10 games or real good changes for use it (or update our gpus).

i have vista 64ultimate dual booted, the only reason i go into XP is to play COD2 in dx9mode because Nvidia took their eye off the ball and are failing to provide drivers that even perform the basics, appart from that i have no issues and am very happy with it's performance/look it installed all the drivers i needed, printer, camera, sound...


i'm not really sure why you would have 64 processors and not want to have an OS that uses that architecture was it a bandwagon perhaps.. a bit like the bash Vista bandwagon here
