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 can get free versions of vista from my dad's employment. the only thing is that it's enterprise edition
lol

So, Enterprise edition may give you better support being that the person who payed for it payed the extra money.

Im leaving vista its just xp with a fancy new dress

Hmmm, I beg to differ.

Just like XP was a candy coated version of Windows 2000, it has also had many tweaks under the hood.

Vista includes many new tools, and features.

Such as...

-Side bar (microsoft's answer to apple's dashboard)
-Error correction (which rarely works)
- Aero theme (a smooth new interface)
- any many other things (which I'm lazy and tired ATM, so I don't feel like listing all of them).

Over all, I Microsoft did a pretty shitty job on the performance side. They just moved 25% of the virtual memory, to physical memory and called it state of the art technology.


Most if them either on a mac or stuff i dont want or indeed need

Im a fan of the *idea* of it. I had the beta, but I ditched it. Bug's in a beta are one thing, but this was excessive.

well yeah its designed to be more media-oriented, hence the need for high-performance (expensive) computers. at least on the vista suvey MS puts out, there is a question if i think Vista is ready to be released

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

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

I'm not even gonna bother. Too much of a memory hog.

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 >_<
