At any rate, from what I've heard about Vista and it's various limitations, I am not looking forward to it. If the laptop that I get in the future has it preloaded, I will install Linux or Windows XP on it.

It RAN on my computer, albeit not too well..
P4 2.4 Ghz proc
512 MB RAM
128 MB ATI 9250 gfx card
It runs a lot better once you remove the "cool, but useless" features, and disable user account control.
It constantly thrashed my HDD, though, and slowed things WAY down at times.

But for me, I personaly think that if there is a difference like the difference between ME and XP than I will buy Vista. Because XP was leaps and bounds better than any other previous Windows so if Vista wows me like that than I'm putting down the money for sure.

not sure but i just found this:
A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:
A modern processor (at least 800MHz1).
512 MB of system memory.
A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.
A Windows Vista Premium Ready PC includes at least:
1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1.
1 GB of system memory.
Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)2, Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel.
40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
DVD-ROM Drive3.
Audio output capability.
Internet access capability.
i think you should atleast have a 2.4 intel p4
512 ram
and a decent graphics card
lol, all i need is 512 MB more memory and ill be set (maybe a gig more )
15 GB xD That's insane It better be damn good I meet the rest of the specs though With 512 RAM though.

You do realise developers are not going to just forget us windows xp people? they will eithe rmake games in openGL or DX9, if hardly anyone upgrades to vista, which i know i wont, its a laggy piece of crap and the wont give out there security keys so you have to use microshit security for the first few months, until microshit give out security keys ( http://news.zdnet.co...9283659,00.htm), no thanks, game developers wont give up on the millions of users who still use XP, DX10 doesnt add much or so ive read, and openGL can rival it, and openGL runs on both vista and XP so it would be in the best interests of developers to choose openGL as the basis of there graphics

You can customize it, just like you can customize your skin, sound files, points, cursors, sidebars and etc..
My computer is a XP pro but it looks and sounds like a vista.

which features are those? and whats the account control ??
All the "pretty shiny" stuff that really adds little aesthetic value, and sucks up resources.
User Account Control is the constant "Windows needs your permission to continue" crap. For someone like me who's ALREADY monitoring his system and everything that goes on and off of it.. such things aren't needed, and are just a giant annoyance.
It may have been different if instead of poorly copying *nix, they could actually do it the way *nix systems do.. ask for admin authentication, but then KEEP THE FREAKING AUTHENTICATION for awhile; don't just ask for it every 45 seconds for every miniscule action.
