Windows VISTA
Just wondering if some of you have that program on your computer right now. Should it be worth buying now or worth waiting until the bugs are ironed out?

The word from our IT guys is that they want to release a new package every two years. By the time the bugs are out, they'll have something else.
Personally, I don't have 1Gig RAM to support the thing so I probably won't be getting it. AND companies like ours aren't upgrading due to all the changes we'd have to make on our end in order to use it.

My recommendation would be to wait until you get Vista on a new computer. This is the most resource intensive OS they've released yet, and most computers that aren't brand new will have a hard time running it.

You really need at least 2gigs. We have been playing with it at work and it is a resource hog. It has some cool things but all in all it seems like a repeat of windows Millenium Edition to me. It just seems rushed.

Vista has a new feature that allows you to speak commands to it.
i.e. Say "Start ... Programs ... Microsoft Word" and word pops up.
Reports are out now that there are websites with embedded sound files that speak commands out the speakers and start hijacking your computer via the voice system.
fun stuff.

Well, irony of ironies. The eMachines PC we bought a few years ago on the post-Thanksgiving sale at BestBuy ($250) fried the power supply and motherboard on Friday. Just bought a replacement HP, and of course it came with Vista Premium. It has a GB of RAM, a 320 MB Hard drive and Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. We'll see how it goes. Now I've got to get all the data off the other hard drive, which is a big enough pain, but I also have to re-install all the programs, which is a bigger pain.
I was hoping to be able to just drop the old HD in this box, but with the different operating systems, it's not gonna happen. Sigh.
