organ_shifter Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm definitely picking it up at launch. It's going to be the OS of choice for the next 5-10 years.

asubaseball727 Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 Does anyone else think that IE 7 is very similar to firefox? Interesting.

organ_shifter Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 Similar? Surely not because of the tabs? Several browsers have had tabs for quite some time now. MS decided to add them into IE7 to further capitalize on browser domination far into the future.

x FiReMaN x Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 umm.. ie7 definetly did tab browsing cuz of firefox... there were tabbed browsing before firefox, so howcome IE didnt capitalize on it until after firefox came out with them and made it popular.

FGOKURULES Posted January 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 It looks like this new operating system might need a hell of alot of ram and superb graphics card, anyone knows what the minimal system requirements are?

I'm just asking, is that what the price of the upgrade will cost, i've never bought an OS at release or even installed a new OS but if thats what it will cost to upgrade i will probably get it. How much will it cost.

organ_shifter Posted January 13, 2006 CID Share Posted January 13, 2006 Normally, yes ($150 - $200) at initial release. That's a tricky question regarding Vista because it will have all versions of the OS on one disc. The chances of the OS being more expensive are moderately high. I think it will cost $200 - $300.

How much will it cost. I am not sure if MS is going to release an upgrade to vista for xp.. There are just so many changes in the file system, the way things are now organized, visual, and others that it would make sense to me to only release full versions. I have yet to hear anything on this topic but I will let you know if I do.

hurricane_floyd Posted January 13, 2006 CID Share Posted January 13, 2006 Q: What Are The Best Features Of Windows Next Operating System? (Vista) A: For the industry to make out like bandits when people have to upgrade to monster sized machines. Since WinXP has had such a relatively long lifespan there are many people still running 4 and 5 year old machines, something had to be done to wake the PC market back up.

FGOKURULES Posted January 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have no idea, it looks fancy but what other feautures does it give you over the previous windows operating sytems? I mean should I really go and spend another 100+ dollars for a o.s. that will do the same thing 2000 professional will do?

Dark_Matter Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'm sure as hell not going to run out, and buy Vista. I will eventually purchase it, but many months later after it's been hacked a few hundred times, and M$ has worked out the millions of bugs sure to be discovered once put into the hands of masses. I think the system requirements will fall as well that's just to high of requirments for an OS, and if they were to be that high it would raise the price of computers because pc makers would have to double the specs of the basic pc's they sale now just to run the new M$ OS. For those who have forgotten most people are not rich the majority of people live paycheck to paycheck, and won't even bother with this crap product (I mean wonderful M$ OS) if prices, and pc requirements to run the damn thing are this high. I already use linux more than windows anyway so if M$ wants to do stupid junk like this i'll write them off for good i think many people might.
