Are you using OEM or retail version?

dual boot using vista and xp pro possible ?

retail....problem solved thought...thanks for the concern

i think most of us had been doing that when using vista since beta. don't take the risk using vista only on your pc. dual boot for recovery if something mess up (i meant vista )

do i need to have an update from blizzard website to play dota?
then how about antivirus? which is the best, got any free u guys currently using?

Each of the antivirus softwares has its pros and cons. You can refer here to see which antivirus softwares are supported. For free antivirus softwares, you can try avast! or AVG.

It is true that most XP game is compatible in Vista in most case. But glad to share info that it will takes months before most hardware vendor to come out with Vista specified driver.

dun worry,even wif the vista beta 2,i still able to play dota without any problem...make sure its 32-bit Vista

Is it possible for Microsoft to release an update for XP for add-on compatibility with DX10 VGA cards?

its alrdy confirmed that no DX10 for windows other than Vista

Who would put DX 10 on XP?

Remeber...they are Microsoft...

They wanna earn big bucks out of us by putting DX 10 on the newest OS so they can milk our hard-earned money...

well well.. vista is out.. Fiji(Vista SP) is already on the work and Windows Vienna is under planning.. crazee huh

vienna wont be around until 2013/2014

hi.

question, who here tried the redeem-the-free-windows-vista promo by microsoft?

do i need to send them anything after the online registration?

hell
if wanna ply dx10 games muz install vista then???
no hope to ply crysis then zzzz

Well, there is another DX9 version for XP for future game execution in XP.

when it's out, it will mark the doom for xp. that probably the last update of DX9 (DX9d ??)

btw, to people who are anti-vista or just too stubborn, they will eventually get stuck with it just like previous version of windows. when XP out, most say it suck blablabla but now, most windows user using XP

Day 6 using vista: satisfied

all my software for work (illustrator, golive, photoshop, indesign, flash) running softly and faster than XP. I work on my notebook (hp dv6203tx) and i must say that Vista able to enhance mobility experience...

tested on wifi connection, and it runs excellent... From my point of view, it dosent have to wait for SP to come out..

the best software ever from microsoft.. im a mac user before, re-convert back to windows.. haha

Yup, i search hi and low and there is no control of Aero setting or flip 3D at all. Btw, while i was in low yat yesterday i tried one of the Home Basic machine. There is two setting. One is Vista Basic and another one when apply is Vista Standard. After changing to Vista Standard, they is more effect like the colour glow when moving ur mouse over the close/minimise button.
Then i tried to change back to Vista Basic but i couldn;t find it. I forgot where i change this setting. Anyone can enlighten me?
Btw, how bout Vista Enterprise version? Is it same like Vista Business? I know it only for big corporate company but i somehow got to hold a cds of Vista Enterprise..
