Microsoft to Release Pro Vista Today

Man, I hope stores don't have as big of a problem as they did with the Playstation 3 release.

 

It is Bloatware.......Minimum requirements 512MB or Ram with 1Gb recommended.

 

This is one of the reason I want out of IT. How can you become an expert in anything when the environment changes so often. I guess there are some people able and willing to relearn everything, I'm getting tired of keeping up.

What I've noticed though, a lot of companies aren't to quick to go right in to the next and greatest thing, I still program for companies that use VB 6.0 apps, on WIN2000 machines.

 

supposedly it is being released now for enterprise use. not supposed to start getting into our hands until january sometime.
bloatware or not, lets bring it on. has directx10
whole new generation of videocards. our dx9 stuff will become obselet so hold of on getting that sweet new lappy until there is hardware supposrting dx10 if you like games.
btw, i heard the new desktop will run a new dx9 version, so most comps will be ok for that, but for games you will want the latest stuff

 

Itll take time for them to fully utilize dx10 in games. Most people will likely never get off with the cool eye candy of the new OS. As Kc said, bloatware. It unlocks using 8 gigs of ram, but what isnt said is youll need to run 2 gigs of ram to make it run as good as XP does on 1gig. Ill just buy up a couple more XP licenses and hold on to them for future systems. Once all the driver and compatibility nightmares are sorted out, bout 2008 or so, then Ill use the upgrade coupons!

 

i agree with you
anything new bring it on
keeps your brain busy and out of trouble
well - sometimes

 

i got a new laptop this week with vista
i guess ill see
