Windows Vista is coming out soon and thus that age old question; should i buy and support Micro$oft or just keep using my XP. What's so good about Vista and why should i shell out a few hundred bucks to get it?

If you have 1Gb of ram to spare and really want to play Halo on your Pc, maybe you should. Otherwise, IMO, no.

Isn't it just tacky animation everywhere + extra DRM shit? Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but that's all I've heard...
*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

The calculator has been rewritten too
And then there's IE7 which also runs on XP (and sucks).
Outlook Express has been replaced etc. etc. Nothing major
in my opinion.

Read the reviews, guys. There's been a LOT of shit added, a lot of it being fucking useless, but a LOT of shit has been added. For instance, any of you with a TabletPC should want to try this for the touch-screen stuff. They made it so you can actually TYPE on on your screen for some reason.
They've did some junk to increase autonomy, power handling and crap.
They've reNAMED Outlook Express (didn't replace it, as was previously stated), there's a new security console thing, but it's annoying.
You can play Halo2
You have DirectX10
Built-in Media Center, but it's only very SLIGHTLY better than MCE.
You like the cawk.
It has a much more attractive interface than XP.
Flip3D is pretty dope, albeit unnecessary.
You can upgrade directly to it and keep all your shit.
It's up to you and whether you want to shell out the pesos for OSX-Lite.

I've been using Vista myself for a week and then got rid of it.

DX10 is pretty much what many people look forward to in Vista, which is supposed to be the next generation of PC gaming, I think. You also should consider certain pieces of hardware if you'd like to run Vista at full capacity.

In short: No.
Srsly. Never buy it at all. Exception is when you need to play DX10 games, and even then, who pays for M$ software?

No, unless you have a DX10 card. Else I say wait 6 months - 1 year to get most of the security issues out and then it should be alright. At least that's what i'm recommeding to all of my clients so far.

Just download it if you're that desperate to try it.

Being some one who has used Vista quite a bit, I can tell you that it actually seems to be more responsive than windows XP on my machine, atleast.

I'm pretty sure you're just dopped once again.
It's responsive, but really not as much as a tweaked XP IMO.

if you really want it, then get it. Otherwise just get Windowblinds for your comp, you can get teh same look as Vista on XP.
