I agree that Vista is hardly receiving the popular support of Windows 95, but few other operating systems have in the last decade. That's simply because few OS' feature the radical improvements that 95 offered, and in some cases Vista fails to do so, too. However, Microsoft's new product is still an impressive jump on previous versions of Windows. Perhaps, too much.

The main attraction of Vista is Aero, the brilliant new graphical facelift. Unfortunatel,y it requires some impressive 3D accelerator support, a first for an operating system. This, along with relatively steep CPU requirements, could be the downfall of Vista.

I, for one, would like to have it. I agree with MS that pretty graphics certainly are easy on the peepers (especially during a long work day). On that note, I'd also like a Blu-ray packing, cell processor using PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, I don't have hundreds of dollars laying around for either Microsoft's new OS or an overpriced console.

More versions of windows???

It hurts me inside. How bout they fix ONE of the many step-children they've developed and THEN decide on making a new OS based on and OLD OS that was broke'd to begin with. Confused? Let me dumb it down a bit. Candy-coated poop is still tastes bad. Build a new OS, Microsoft. From scratch. Not from the patchwork foundation win 95/98 sat on. In my opinion, by far the best windows OS is still Win2K pro.

Windows 2k was good...until Windows XP came along. Windows 2k is THE slowest booting OS. I boot XP in 15 or less seconds. Windows 2000 took 30+ seconds. And my PC isn't a slow piece of junk. I don't have ANY stability issues with XP. My laptop is running Vista Ultimate and I don't have any stability issues either. It responds just as fast as XP as well.

On another note...if you don't like the OS, go create a better one.

I was a PC guy for my entire life (I'm 34) and have just converted to Apple. Everything works fine on apple and they always have all the drivers you need ect...Since they switched to the Intel chip they're not any more expensive either. The only drawback I can see is online gaming. They have to catch up on that part.
The beauty about the future is the OS won't matter anymore because most everything will be online.
