personaly i think VISTA is useless reason's

15 GB installation =>   my motto Bug's equals Data, why in crist is vista 15 gb big?

Resource's hungry  => expect like a bad memory leak in the complete system, memory leaks also makes programs bigger and bigger like vista do

it monitor shit you never heared of ? let me put on example it scan your Audio port for posable system hacks, =>if you ask me they watch to much James bond movie's

you think you control your computer, guess again you don't => on back ground it sends in infomation to microsoft this is nothing new with vista XP already doing this crap

DX10, ah whats that all games are writen on DX9 they are all made compatable on DX9 sinds thats where the money are made

Only thing Microsoft keeps in power is their DX software, god i hope EU gonna do something about this monopoly shit time Linux gets their share on market, they earn it 1000x times more then microsoft they are the REAL pirates

if i by a PDA or Phone it's only compatable with microsoft products, sounds like monopoly to me to. I am foced to use Microsoft, shit

i keep quite now before my blood pressure start to hit 150

can you backup your statement with facts other then a personal experience

Aero graphics just a nice looking thing, but when i play a game i not looking to fancy icons nor i wanna spend resources especaily memory to it

Sidebar the cloak on the right side. if i wanna know the time i check my G15 keyboard or look at the cloak behind me.

just eye candy but nothing that inproves the Operation System, kind of weird world we life in.

we are expecting  to make computers faster and faster, compoments smaller and smaller, expecting CPU to calculate 2,400,000,000,000 switchs a second while we not expecting software to get smart engineered

How can you get more stable than never crashes. That's my XP SP2 and SP3 experience. The only crashes I have are with semi-badly coded programs and they rarely take the OS with it.

Also being a gamer I'd have to take some of my older games designed for Windows 3.1 and 95 to a Vista machine and try to run them before even considering buying it(All run fine on XP).

Then again, if it's free....
