* Windows Vista Home Basic, $199/$99.95
* Windows Vista Home Premium, $239/$159
* Windows Vista Business, $299/$199
* Windows Vista Ultimate, $399/$259

Prices are comparable to the current prices for XP. I think the left price is the full version and the right price is the upgrade. I may be wrong.

are you usin "vista? or demo"d it?in your opinon how does it stack-up 2 XP?

what ive been told is that it is much slower and needs alot more powerful hardware ... which is the norm for any new microsoft OS .. their slogan should be .. "It Just Keeps Getting Slower.."

dont expect too many non major software companies to produce for it in the beginning .. though alot of XP software is still supposed to work with it .. but i doubt the large corporate companies will be switching any time soon, they may just upgrade to XP bout the time Vista comes out .. :D

Now, im going to see if I can get a download and test it out .. :walk:

I been a part of a testing group for about 3 weeks now. Overall, if you aint running at least a Pentium 4, with at least gigabyte of RAM on the client end I wouldn't suggest deploying it. I got about 6 users in my Office working with it and Vista's footprint is huge. But I like it alot though particularly as an administrator. Security on it has improved quite a bit. Non- Msoft products seem a bit slower though but it works well in a networked environment cause it interacts tremendously with Terminal Services, Active Directory and stuff like that. For home use I would recommend staying on an Windows XP Service Pack 2 platform. Its easier to manage, once you disable most of its services that basically open up your computer to relay/ allow access to your hard drives.
