Why would people upgrade to this?

What is so better about vista compared to XP?

reminds me of background internet accelerators back in the day

application pre-caching is such a nice idea .... to save 2.3 seconds per app launch

That's what I'm talkin' about. However, SP2 is a tad nicer.

Nothing significant, until 64-bit computing is mainstream.

Originally posted by DigitalPhoenix Ok srsly guys: Why would you jump onto a brand new bandwagon when your old one ain't broke??? This release is absolute shit. There's a lot of kinks in it. You want Vista? Wait at least 8 months to a year when V.2 comes out. Save yourselves the time and money. No shit

precisely. XP has had thousands of problemsin the first few years, vista will be no different, until some good patches are available, i'd stay well clear. Yeah, xp has limits & can be annoying, but it does work for what it's worth

Should have checked compatibility issues. The Vista is purposefully made so that compatibility is a realllll BITCH, so you'll be forced to buy a new computer.

First, gaming forces insane upgrades, now this. Even though I'm a Computer Science major out of college, I'm glad I only use my PCs for music mixing, internet/email, and other small everyday stuff. For everything else, there's Xbox.
