Well, I heard it was better because they put more security so that no one can hack into the computer or stronger firewall. To me, it just plan look better, that's all. I will probably get latest OP version by this coming summer. Overall, I like it. I have a cousin who have brand new laptop with latest verison. It was pretty cool.

I've taken it off my new Gateway that came with it. Too many driver issues. Heck, een the audio driver from Gateway was a Beta and my Brand New HP laserjet wouldn't run at all.

That's why I'd rather to wait until when summer begins. So that they can update all in one. It happen also when Windows XP first came out that they received some kind of error for hardware drivers. Just saying that Vista graphics looks better than Old Looking XP.

I agree. Wait till they get the initial bugs worked out. Hopefully also MAC OS X 10.5 will be out by then too.

I wish Apple would release Mac software for open Hardware. I wouldn't mind adding a HD to my system to play whit that OS.

Ditto big time.
This seems to evade notice from the Apple/Microsoft-haters alliance. It does not serve Apples' profit motive to market their OS without their obligitory "safe/harbored/managed/expensive" hardware. If OS market penetration were an actual realtime goal, in and of itself, they could do it next week if they wanted to. Wanting to ensure "hardware compatiblility" with their OS guarantees them a closed but controllable market model, but... at the expense of the end user.
I would definately purchase their OS if it were not relegated/chained to their closed/approved hardware. I built my current pc in preparation for Vista without a compelling reason to upgrade. That's ok, XP works fantastic for me, so I'll wait for the eye candy when Vista SP1 and driver support become available. <deafening silence>Apple... I do have a hard drive available if you're listening.</deafening silence>

Well, first of all, I like Apple, but never had one on my own. It just that Apple OS is just neat and clean looking. It just I have several problem for apple, you couldn't get lots of awesome software that will work any Apple OS or Macintosh. The reason why I like Windows the most is because you almost can do everything what you wanted to do and other reason is that Windows's networking service works really great. I used it all the time for my home networking between computers and laptops we had. I told or left message on each laptop when if they connect to my main desktop computer that they cay use my huge hard-drive to save laptop or other computer's space on hard-drive. How? From wonderful Linksys Router. I use this main computer just to save large files such as movie, dvd, video, tons of pictures, and on. Anyway, I'm sure Macintosh do had those too, but Windows is just easier to use. Let's see... on other hand, Mac only have one clicker on mouse and Windows have two or three plus scroll roller on mouse. See, I used to have little diffcult to use Mac's mouse, haha. The main point is not that I hate Apple. I like Apple and I think they are pretty awesome. I just only wish they can all put all together and change the name called, "Unlimited OS" computer, eh.

Yeah.. I was going to say that, but I heard it has lots of problem of errors... I didn't like Linux because it looks like childish looking to me.

I didn't like the vista gui nor the fact it asked my permission for the most inane things...

I'd rather not to talk about Linux or Mac OS too. I was explaining the different between Mac or Linux for Vista though. Usually, Linux and Vista has same company for Microsoft. Microsoft seprated Linux and Windows along with Microsoft Office, FrontPage, and more different software. Anyway, I think Windows Vista is worth to wait for this coming summer, don't you? So that they can fix some bug error before summer is coming.
