Hey all, well vista is release in 2 days, i just wanted to know who is going to upgrade, upgrade edition is only $168. I just wanted to get an idea on who will be upgrading or just sticking to XP.

Ta

P.S sorry the top poll should say "I am Upgrading to Vista."

Cheers

Added that last poll option in for ya.

I will be definetly upgrading to Vista. Why? Because its somthing different and eventually your gonna have to upgrade anyway.

Also I just built my brand spankin new computer which should be no problem running Vista, the only part I dont like is that with my scanner there isnt any Vista drivers available for it, so hopfully Canon will updating it soon.

Vista FTW! :D

if you buy the upgrade edition, format the system clean, then install straight from the upgrade DVD and use your original XP disc etc as the original product validation.

Upgraded OS's are crap at the best of times.

I've been running vista on one of my spare pc's since RTM came out and it's not too bad, just needs at least 2gb of RAM and something like a core2 duo to make it run well if you utilise your PC a lot. With just 1gb of RAM running just office 2007 is quite sluggish.

I had a quick play with RTM on a recent-ish Dell PC at work, didn't get a chance to put any big load on it but functionality was fine, I like the way everything works.

Work definately won't touch it until the second service pack, I'd be hesitant to get it before SP1 judging by previous experience.....

Still waiting for some 8800GTS drivers to be avaliable and some DX10 games to go with it!

I suppose as long as you have a modern PC and can locate all needed drivers and software. Remember that things like anti virus / drive defrag software etc will need to be updated too. Then you should be good to go, keep in mind that DX10 is going to be Vista only or so I heard?

Indeed it will. But it might take time for game developers to fully utilize the new technology. Cant wait! :D

i'd go for linux mate or stick with xp (ideally if you can switch to a mac and you wont have any troubles + with the core2duo's in the macs you can have osX + windows + linux on the same machine :toast::toast: )

vista is a poorly programmed piece of @##! and if you have to upgrade, wait a bit till its been out for a few months.

I'm going with Vista but will wait untill all software works 100% first

Eg. Counter Strike Source!

I've played around a fair bit with Vista already and i think it's great, monitoring, logs, speed... etc..etc all seemed fine to me.

(I was doing my testing with a 4 year old P4 2.4Ghz, 768MB Ram, ATI 9600), all very old crappy hardware really and worked 100% for me.

My main system is a Duo 2 Core 2.4 with 2GB of RAM so no issues there if it ran an the 4 year old stuff :-)

I personaly don't see any issues with the OS and don't think "vista is a poorly programmed piece of @##! " but rather good :-)

Sure any thing can be better but left face it Windows still have the majority of the market so must be doing somthing right.

OSX is also ok (I have one at work) and yes even they do need drivers at times and are not that great unless you run the OS on Intel hardware, which mine is not :-(

My advice would be to wait a month or so before installing the new Vista OS as many applications will get tested in the first month or so by others and fixed :-)

Well that my 2 cents worth :-D

Cheers

ill still stand by my comments about how poorly vista is programmed

but time will tell :P

and no you cant say just cause they've got market share that they're doing something right

they've got a monopoly, its not cause they release great software.

if you want want the best software atm get osX on powerpc or intel.

      FUSE BOXES ALLOCATION - 1996 SUPER CUSTOM Model (Import)

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
