Corp000085 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Vista has gotten some mixed reaction. Some are calling it windows millenium v.2. Personally, i think the OS will be just fine, just like XP has been. I'm going to order my copy of vista today, but as i wrote in the sabrespace thread about vista, i'm definitely not going to install it right away. Wondering how many of you guys will soon be upgrading (or if there's anyone out there who was able to get a midnight copy and already has it up?) BTW, my ordered copy will be free... I recently got a laptop that has a free upgrade to the business edition. To hell if i'm paying extra for an OS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Windows Millenium edition is the biggest piece of junk ever! If Vista has any similarities- no way in hell will I purchase it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 On my next computer purchase I'll opt for Vista. Hopefully will be replacing my computer in the next 2 or 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 hey as long as they spend their money...and lots of it at CC, I don't care how "diluted" they are But you don't refute the fact that they were deluded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow me to clarify: The people who are installing Vista on day 1 are deluded fools. Not the fact that they are shopping at CC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've been running RTM for a little under 3 months now. Stability has greatly improved since B2/RC1. It's different than XP, but a good kind of different. Most of the people who've had problems have done upgrade installs, not "clean installs" where you wipe XP off of your computer. I'd advise doing the clean install - I just did it on my laptop and it took all of 25 mins to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Doing an upgrade install on my desktop right now (typing this on my work laptop)... We'll see how it goes, if there are issues, I'll just format and do a clean install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 So far so good...definitely thinking about adding another 1gb of ram (total of 2) to improve the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I just got a new computer with Vista pre-loaded on it yesterday (I've been needing a new PC for a looooooong time, it had nothing to do with the Vista launch) but I gotta say...I really like this new OS. Very easy to use and understand, you'll be surprised how fast you get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udonkey Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Wanna bet? linky Sure, I'll bet...during the installation process, it gave me the option: - upgrade - clean install You can do a clean install on a system that you would normally upgrade. The whole "upgrade" process is to ensure that someone purchasing the Home Premium package is an existing XP SP2 Home or MCE, or Windows Vista Home Basic user. Right now, I've got Home Premium installed and could easily perform a "clean install" over it if there are bugs. So far, there are not, so I don't anticipate it. Thanks for your concern though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
