Guest kamil234 Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was wondering if anyone is getting Vista when it leaks out to the internet after it gets RTM? I will be trying to get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I dont know if there will be a leaked full version... They way that MS has the product activation set-up it might make it really hard to get a warez version. I guess only time will tell. I know for sure I am not going to be making the switch any time soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayenneman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm with you! I love XP. No improvements are needed as far as I'm concerned. It's the most stable product M$ has ever put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 yeah well i have the RC's and i like it better than XP just because its more eyecandy, nothing really changed otherwise that you will accually notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayenneman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hmmm, interesting. Maybe I should try RC2 and see how I like it. How much will the professional edition cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was wondering if anyone is getting Vista when it leaks out to the internet after it gets RTM? I will be trying to get it... I dont think anyone is going to release a RTM to the public. If it is going to happen it will happen when large business get it in late December early January. If this is going to happen it will happen sometime this week because the dedline for RTM is November 7th, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 yeah well i have the RC's and i like it better than XP just because its more eyecandy, nothing really changed otherwise that you will accually notice. its alot more then just eyecandy. There would have been a ton more if they didnt have to rebuilt it 2 years ago. The thing that has the biggest change is the security and i hope they got it right.

cayenneman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Very true about the security aspect. Let's just all go to Linux and forget Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cayenneman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Now you're talking! Mac's ROCK!!! I'd love to get my hands back on one. Haven't been able to since System 7 and I've heard they're sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Now you're talking! Mac's ROCK!!! I'd love to get my hands back on one. Haven't been able to since System 7 and I've heard they're sweet. I stayed away from macs because the power pc processors were always so slow. But since they put a Intel processor in it, ive switched. the only time i use windows is at work because i have to for the programs i use. If you put Vista Next to OSX tiger and leopard its almost a side by side copy the only thing really different is the start menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a pretty solid deal if you are in need of an OS.. Sure beats paying $400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I saw that yesterday.. is it a free upgrade or additional $$ some are free you just have to pay S&H. if you buy a upgrade of home, then its a 50% discount. I cant remember what the price is for upgrade of pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayenneman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well in order to run Vista, I have to upgrade my hardware first. I understand that 1GB of RAM is recommended, dang it!!! See? That's why I'm happy with XP; it does what I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I wont install vista on my computer until it's been out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayenneman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I read the reviews on myegg.com and it doesn't sound like that great of deal after all and that's according to Microsoft. These problems include issues with installation as well as being limited to a single installation on one box. I thought there might be a catch. One thing that needs to be considered is that this could be a true upgrade from XP versus a full-blown, wipe-it-clean installation. It's been my experience that these upgrades just don't do a great job. If this is the case, you'll have many more problems down the road as a result of the upgrade. It's better just to blow the machine away and start from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 That is precisely why I will wait at least a year, and buy it pre installed on one. Then hand the kids my old one to replace the old T1220 they are using now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
