So this has been released to the public now. Has anyone heard any complaints? Should I look into downloading it or should I stick with XP?

Check out this Tomshardware Vista vs XP rundown. With such poor performance I'm even less excited by Vista.
http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/01/29/xp-vs-vista/
Funny thing I saw was they had stores opening at midnight to sell Vista. I really wonder if anyone turned up to these events.
Infrequently I have to work in a large inner city hospital. I saw this circular yesterday that said the hospital was upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Given that some of the PCs there have 64MB ram and take 5 minutes before you can use them at startup, I don't see Vista being installed there soon.
Maybe, just maybe, when games come out that support Direct X 10 and they perform better than XP, just maybe I'll get Vista. Until then I'll continue with XP and Linux.

I've never read anything on it persay, but just hearing people saying that it takes a beast of a system to run will make me stay the fuck away...I never wanted to upgrade from Windows 2000, so with no favorable reviews I definitley won't be going to those midnight openings, lol...

why is everyone is such a rush to get a new OS that is slower AND includes more DRM measures? Are they all going to let Bill come over and drink their last beer, have sex with their sisters and invite him to put his feet up on the furniture?

Well I'm glad all of you love Vista! Lol.... It sounds like I'll be waiting for quite a while before I try it

I like Vista alot, but am holding off til we get it at work, so I get mine for 20 bucks.
but, for me, the real gem is Office 2007's new version of Excel, and I get a professionally licensed copy that will work with XP (next week?). Best of all, it will be on a U3 drive (no hard install, but also no bootlegging), and I get it FOR FREE. *shudder*
must. facilitate. analysis. *scheme*
