So, when are you going to get it? Personally, I think its not not worth it so I voted "eventually".

College discount represent.  I can get copies of Windows XP Pro for $10 (or free if I want to download an ISO), and I believe they will be selling Vista for the same price a few months after it gets released.

 

Oddly enough, the ISO download is a full version, despite the fact that you probably already have windows if you are downloading and burning an ISO.

 

 

Back to Vista, if not for DirectX 10, I wouldn't waste my $10.

 

If I wasn't getting the discount, I wouldn't jump.  I use Linux for most things non-gaming, and it's not worth the $200ish Vista will cost.

ill most likey get once they have gotten most of the bugs out of it and when it goes cheaper(any one want to bet on when that will be?)

Either when I get back from Europe or sometimes in the distant future. Well that is unless I happen to get a free copy some how.

I will when I feel the need to get a new computer...which won't be for quite a long time, lol. ;D

Hmm personally I don't know.

Probably when applications and games will start requiring it.

I'd like first to have a chance to test it and then perhaps eventually buy it.

Do you know how and where to get a trial one???

you can pay about 20US$(i think it 20 it might be more) for the beta of it. and the only game that i know will require it will be halo 2*starts to mumble about how evil micro$oft is for only have halo 2 for their new OS*

Hey I am in Europe. I wonder how many euros will be needed.

I hope to see something free. I don't want to pay for a trial which probably even doesn't have all the options on.

no it does its a beta of the ultimate package with everything enabled other then that there will be no trial cause microsoft has never needed one

NEVER or when they take XP off the market all the games are optimised for XP.

Oh ok.Thx

And if all games are now optimized for Xp i suppose they will all run on Vista.

Unless Vista has a completley different base or core or whatever, it might...will directX10 run on xp?

No, Vista and DirectX 10 are being designed together. DirectX 10 will not work in XP.

 

Thus for people wanting to buy a new system (esp gamers), you should really wait until DirectX 10 video cards come out on the market.

i will when i get a new computer

So far im just going to use the Beta version I got until later 2007 and then buy the real thing, unless I feel the need upgrade, XP seems to be good enough for me.

For me, DX10 compatible card first, then this.  The only reason I WOULD want Vista is Halo 2 PC
