Vista Pricing... $600! Hahahaha....

the part i never get is the piracy issue.

they could be 10* the size if they solved this issue.

i know the copy of windows i have is on at least 50 computers....

then they wouldnt have to charge 600$
 
The driver issue with Vista is a little complicated. Currently I'm running Vista RC1 (32-bit). The built-in driver support is fairly good, but it didn't support my D-link PCI Wireless card. I was able to force the WinXP driver to install which works fine. I have many peripherals which just don't work yet.

Now Vista also comes in a 64-bit edition and the drivers are completely different. Others tell me there are fewer drivers
compared with the 32-bit version.
 
The transition to Vista will be slow, buggy, painful (well, at least annoying). I say, "nothing doing at least until SP2",
 
Many traders will get Vista by default on machines that they purchase, but I see no advantage (at least for traders) to upgrade WinXP to Vista. Gamers may have to upgrade next year because only Vista will run DirectX 10.
 
Quote from cmaxb:

Why would I want to upgrade from XP x64? I am keeping this machine for 10 years.

Is XP x64 support going to run longer than for XP Pro?
