I made the swich already, no longer using XP (mb that wasn't very smart on my part), but my PC is souly a Vista PC now. I got a 4.1 rating (out of the 5.0) on how well off my PC is, my gfx card is dragging me down... Time to upgrade

Unless you have your XP disk around, you are going to have to buy vista when the beta expires now.

Vista is more stable than XP as of RC1.

That was incredibly stupid. Most of your stuff wont work now, seeing how very few companies will put out Vista drivers before it goes retail.

Meh, mostly everything works...

What I'm going to do, is when Vista is released, buy a completely new computer EXCEPT for video card. I'll wait for video cards (DX9) to drop in price a lot when dx10 cards come out. Then I'll after about half a year get a new V-Card.

The only reson i would ever upgrade my XP to Vista is for Halo 2 vista, and mb cuz its pretty

[Boo Diddly]

also the only reason to upgrade is that new things will eventually not support xp. look at what happened to winows 95...

[Rosco]

Buy the Cheapest version of Vista there is to get Halo 2.
That's what I'm going to do, until my brother forks up cash to buy the Home Edition that's got Aero and such.

I'll be getting a new graphics card along the way, but that depends, would a 9700 work on Vista ( estimate on Halo 2 Vista)
