DittoWindows Vista has been treating me okay so far. No problems. I am happy with the purchase.
I agree with that completely. Aside from the part where I may be switching to linux.I hate to say this but I'm going to stick with XP for my next computer I purchase. Why? I know XP off by heart and I'd rather wait until Vista can run smoother and run on lower capacity machines.

Hasn't effected me & My music ripping. I still rip to DMR Free MP3sHow do we feel about the fact that DRM is part of the OS?
I think it's a horrible idear myself.
I believe I read some unfavorable reviews of that feature on the blog I posted earlier.Is anyone using the Express Upgrade Program from their computer manufactuer? If so, do you have Vista yet and did you encounter any issues prior to receiving it?
I haven't seen too many problems here yet, although it is kinda scary...How do we feel about the fact that DRM is part of the OS?

I haven't received my copy of "Home premium" yet.Is anyone using the Express Upgrade Program from their computer manufactuer? If so, do you have Vista yet and did you encounter any issues prior to receiving it?
I have always clean installed in the past, plan to this time too when I get Vista. Hard drives are cheap these days, so putting Vista on it's own drive shouldn't set anyone back too much. If your hard drive is large enough, putting it on a new partition can be a good option also... but if you plan to dual boot... beware! See the following:I believe I read some unfavorable reviews of that feature on the blog I posted earlier.
Traditionally with any Windows "upgrade" you are asking for trouble. From what I've read, Vista is no different if not worse. Clean installs are always recommended by techs like myself who have the scars from trying to "repair" botched upgrades. And end up doing clean installs anyway...
Thanks for the upgrade linx! One of these years (heh heh) I will get around to "upgrading" to Vista.I have always clean installed in the past, plan to this time too when I get Vista.

I alread use BING and IFW/IFD from terabyte unlimited, so ought to be in good shape there.
Also, it's possible to clean install Vista from the upgrade media that is sent to you or that you purchased:

You must have blessed your copy before you installed it! lolWell I got sick of waiting and went and bought Windows Vista Home Basic. I must say I am very impressed with Vista. It is very stable and I haven't had any attempts of people hacking in, no spyware or viruses either. I just wish one train the firewall to quit asking you for permission. That is so annoying.
