so will u be upgrading to vista?

On my business workstations? Hell no. A virtual machine for testing, that's about it tbh.

On a home machine? It's possible. Vista media center may sway me to change from MCE. We'll see.

I use my rig mainly for gaming, so its gonna be a certainty that I will be upgrading to Vista sooner than later

Just not sure on what flavour of Vista I will be purchasing

I'm most certainly underwhelmed about Vista tbh.

XP does everything I need to for the forseeable future and I won't be an early adopter of Vista.
I couldn't care less about the fancy 3d graphics, and other semi-useless stuff I don't need.

I most certainly won't buy it, but will probably obtain a free copy through work, which I'll use to test and familiarise myself with.

Will probably upgrade eventually when I need to, but I'm not in a rush to begin with.
It'll be like my slow move from Win2K to XP.

can someone also enlighten me as to the versions of vista. heard there would be about 8 versions!?! or something silly like that?

why do they need to release so many different versions!

Because they can never get it right the first time or second time round!

i'm running vista beta2 as my main os at the moment. but that's only because my new (well 2nd hand gfx card won't work with xp properly.... ).

Not until the good DX10 games start coming out with a more mature operating system, so most likely in time for the next Christmas rush after Vista release.

I'm going for a Mac next time around, so probably never. Or when I have some spare money laying about that I really don't need (which I will from EMA!

) I'll consider it - actually doing it is a whole new story.

There are 7 versions of the new Vista, and they are as follows:

Starter Edition
Home Basic Edition
Home Premium Edition
Windows Vista Professional Edition
Small Business Edition
Enterprise Edition
Ultimate Edition

All of them no doubt will have a massice price attached to them, God only know what the Ultimate Ed will cost :eek:
