what for? not all vista users are using ori one ler...
later ori users and non ori put up together, very misleading lor..

whats ur previous codec pack?

i heard that klite is hard to uninstall, as it may still mess somewhere in system folder and registry,
CCCP is recommended as it is lighter in size, and less intefering with system, but i am not using it now

I dont think that MS would likely to be fooled too long

ur audio codec is which model? realtek got many kind of it... but only the recent 7.1 HD codec will have vista support by default

Vista overall is ok with recent hardware, minus the IE7 which its UI load up so sluggishly, the icon are so SMALL to click to, and STILL NO any "highlight as you search" find feature in firefox. And its decision to lock up the UI (which probably MS want to prevent any malware to modify the UI toolbar) is really a bad idea. And do you guys notice that, whenever you drag a link to an empty space on the tab, it will open the link in the existing window, unlike FF which open them in a new window...and i hate that...really, and not to mention it cant feature a bookmark folder in the toolbar for easy access to favorites.
Security wise, it may be better than IE6, but feature wise, I give a thumb down.

to use XP with all those vista eyecandies, will use up more RAM compare to having it natively in vista

no...thats a fake rumor
see my thousands of downloaded mp3 still there

righty well most ppl will think that way before they try install themselves, even last time me also having such prejudice. Using 2 GB now, running matlab2006 with few functions on, and 6 firefox windows with multiple tabs, one WMP11, and other background apps, i can flip the windows smoothly, switching between windows totally no glitch at all...and the RAM usage just barely hit 59% maximum.

of course vista need at least 1 GB, forget about minimum requirements of 512mb

it might be problem with ur DVD drive, or BIOS, for my case, before I updated the BIOS, the vista installer stuck at the loading bar screen, after updating , the installation took around 30-40 mins.

if changing processor but not changing mobo, need to reactivate or not?

is it possible to downgrade from Ultimate to Home premium without reinstalling?

I am using a no-key version of Ultimate, I cant afford and wont buy an Ultimate key, Home premium is good enough.
