seriously, you're using Vista for what? DX10 games? AFAIK, there's no available DX10 games yet, and you're gonna need nVIDIA GeForce8 series or upcoming ATi's R600 to use DX10 feature...IMO, i rather to use WinXP with Vista looks, less headache...

Why switch?
XP is not enough for your ____ (insert wat ever here)?

Bukannya canteeek sangat, bukannya terrrreeee sangat.....

Well, that's why I'm asking.

It's not like I've decided to buy it already.

And what's this about Digital rights Management that shuts down your monitor to prevent viewing copyrighted multimedia content?

that would sux like a vacuum cleaner.

ai ya for me win xp is enuf liao.
wat for upgrade and change it lah.

IMHO, wait it out....wait till the product is about 1 year. That should be sufficient time for developers to weed out important bugs, build drivers for older hardware and program/games that will truly take advantage of the Vista enhancements.

im using one right now...the home basic...a lil bit confusing for a first time user...its consume a lot of ur ram...damn slow on my amd64 rig...many hardware not campatible with them...my printer is one of them...better wait for SP1...im using 512mb ddr2 ram...not enough...i read the best is 2gb of ram...damn...

There is no hurry to ugprage from XP to Vista. From my experience, Vista itseld had not much problem, it is more about third party software that facing compatibility issue with it. If can wait then better wait.
If buying new machine then different story. There is not many significant differences between Vista and XP.

I'm want to trying Vista but anybody can recommend for me what Vista suitable for my rig especially notebook Aspire 5020.

have to wait lah..
a lot of hardware canot been support...
so trouble u know..

by looking at your siggy, your amount of ram may not be sufficient to run vista smoothly. as for vista version, it's pretty much up to your requirements and needs. if you want the aero interface you can opt for any vista version except the home basic PROVIDED your graphic card can support it...

I think my laptop cannot good for Vista.

DirectX version is redundant as you will be using DirectX10 anyways after that. Just add more HDD space. 20GB is what you need for Vista

well well well, the ultimate questions for ppl who is wondering about changing to vista.

in my case, its just a matter of want to and not have to. i'm kinda of a gadget freak, so new stuff comes out ofcourse i wana use it, it gives a kind of self satisfaction.
what i think u and all of the people should do, go get urself a vista trial (can be downloaded easily) if u find urself doing as good as or better than xp, why not go get the full version. but if u think u can live with xp for like another 9months for SP1 and thinkin about changin to vista everyday, then continue live with xp.

about the compatibility issues, not everyone is facing it extremely, just browse around and u can mostly overcome it. i have been usin vista ultimate for a month now and not regretting a little bit. heck when i use xp now i feel a little underpowered. no offence to xp users tho.

Wow, can use this to check also ah? I remember i always use this to test game requirement back when using Xp. Hehe

I use Vista Ultimate and got my retail box 2 days ago. Yes hardware support is pretty limited like Canoscan scanner, some HP printers.. etc..

All core drivers like mainboard chipset, graphics card, processor.. its all up to date with even beta drivers to run about (for graphics card only)

Visually, Vista is pretty, while the wider software support now... Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, Flash and Dreamweaver 8, Maya 8.5, City of Heroes / Villains.. and more to be listed..

Very secure? So far, yes but its very annoying with the UAC (User Access Control). Just wait till Sp1 like others said.

Sure. Here http://ati.amd.com/technology/windowsvista...VistaReady.html

Hi ,

I have a question here regarding the Windows Vista Defragment System.
I face a difficulty to fragment the files using windows fragment and it seems like talking me a long period to finish. I been open the windows defragment from yesterday before sleep till I wake up today and the Windows Defragment still in progress.

Wow, that long?? I did a defrag b4 but it took me only bout an hour. How big ur hdd is?

I'm planning to add bigger harddisk maybe 60/80GB and change 256MB to 512MB it will be 1024MB. Isn't enough running VISTA smoothly? I'm looking just HOME Edition suitable for it. :I'm want to trying Ultimate Version. sweat:
