    Anyone getting Vista today ???

    Just curious. I'm going to upgrade. I don't have media center so I want that.

      Got it for free from work a while ago (MSDN subscription). Not bad IMO.

      Gotta love never paying for MS software....

        Ive been using it forever now as I do most of my work for Microsoft training. Its ok, but I wouldnt install it on my own PC at home quite yet.

              I get a free copy to from MSDNAA.

              Im going to download it and burn it to a dvd, but im not sure if i want to go through the hassle of setting up boot camp again on my mac.


              Ill probably wait until the semester is over and do it then.

                  I'm downloading the upgrade now. Very slow download.

                          I've been in the market for a new pc, and even though xp is perfectly fine for now, i'll probably get a new pc with vista on it.

                            Just an FYI....

                            If you are going to use Vista and going to use the "Aero Interface", you'll need a pretty powerful machine.

                            We loaded it onto a test machine at work that was 1.6 Ghz with 1 GB of RAM and it was pretty slow. Approximately 60% of the RAM was used up with Internet Explorer and Outlook open (the Aero Interface was the hog).

                            The laptop I have at home with Vista on it is a 2.0 Ghz dual core processor with 2 GB of RAM and Vista runs well on that.
