Re: Will You Be Buying Windows Vista???

Wont buy it myself until it's been patched and/or proven. Might end up using it at work depending on where I end up working, but won't be getting it for my personal machines any time soon.

Re: Will You Be Buying Windows Vista???

I'm fairly sure that in the future when it's patched/proven etc, Vista will replace XP as the default Windows package. Myself, I'm fine with XP for now. It's easy and it's what everyone is used to.

Re: Will You Be Buying Windows Vista???

I will buy it in about a year. By then M$ will have at least one service pack out for it.

Re: Will You Be Buying Windows Vista???

I, like dani will be buying it when it comes out. I am sorry I just can't deal with not getting it, it looks so shiney and new. No, I know there are gonna be bugs but it hopeful won't effect the general user to much and I really need a personal webserver for my pc.

Re: Will You Be Buying Windows Vista???

I'll buy it when and if I buy a new computer to run Windows before a replacement becomes available.
As I don't know when and if either of those conditions will be met I can't at the moment make any predictions one way or the other.

Or to put it bluntly: I don't know

Re: Will You Be Buying Windows Vista???

I'm not going to buy Vista just so that I can dual-boot (or rather, triple-boot) my MacBook with Windows. I wouldn't mind tinkering around with it, although I'd certainly not want it as my main operating system.
