i am waiting to change my hardware config for vista,not joking i am still using 32 mb ddr graphic card :smile:

I have tried the beta for a while now and I really like the look of it, but I don't like how it eats resources but my computer is not that good either.

 

[dianwei]

since the drivers for graphics software are also in Beta for vista, there are some performance losses in games.

lol, i have a 16 MB graphic card and pentium.....









































2:biggrin: 266 MHz

I have a 386 with 4mb of RAM and 256k of VRAM! It's in the closet though, and I've had older hardware.

Anyway, I'd emulate Vista, but I get the feeling that Vista will be unusable on the fastest computer in emulation.

I don't even want Vista- it will be full of candy interface and security issues. I'm looking toward Windows 2007 or 2008, aka Windows Longhorn, or Windows Vista Server. If Windows 2000 and 2003 is an indication, the server version will come with things like Remote Registry, Messenger, etc disabled by default. As well, by the time Vista is more popular, moving to Server won't be as difficult. The Vista codebase will have its own awful peculiarities, but many of the rewritten things and additional features might become requirements soon after release as it happened with XP (WinME was dumped fast).

I can't run Aero =(. My video card is only an 128MB ATI Radeon x300.

 

[creydawg]

i honestly think Vista is going to be a pirates nightmare, with DRM being enforced and all that.

 

[kongo]

XP was supposed to be pirates nightmare, and it was..... for about a week(a month if some ppl wanted to get stable and working crack).

The beta tester of XP (about 1.000.000.000 people) told MS that xp is still full of bugs, but..xDD
I dont recomend install that version, you will have problem with drivers, software, etc...

Bye!!.

LOOOOOL
when VISTA comes out i might get to WIN2k3 until someone fully cracks vista and i buy some better hardware

 

[Kenny1036]

The only thing I'm worried about is losing compatibility for certain games...

 

[rzepas]

guess they gona make some compability for older games like it was in winxp which kinda didn't worked for all but for most at least for me so let's wait and see what's famous microsoft is after

 

[crawl]

Vista is full of bugs and it using up more resource than win xp.Wait until it come out more stable version.
