There's already leaks of the Retail Vista Version....

Anyone here uses it? Where did you download it from? The LimeWire results are all BS.

How is it?

When's the official release date, btw?

I have a legal beta from Microsoft. I stopped using it, though. One day, it went apeshit, said my account had been changed from the internet, and only allowed me to use Internet Explorer.

It's no different than Windows XP, it just has a stupid interface, stupid "security" alerts that bother you for everything, and uses an excessive amount of memory.

Not I... I want to wait for all the tweaks to be figured out and corrected first.

I'm happy with my win xp right now.

I heard that it's supposed to be released this January, but I don't remember. Sometime this year.

Looks good, but I bet it takes up not only a shitload of memory, but probably wouldn't work well on older computers because of the interface and it just seems... clunky. Some of the features seem interesting, but I definitely wouldn't get it for the computer I have right now. It would just crash >_<

I'm waiting for the summer when it is natively supported by the laptops on the market.

30th January I think. If you want a leak, try looking for torrents.
