If you buy any PC,Laptop with/or XP software (retail or OEM) from October 26,2006 trough March 15,2007 you get a free upgrade (+ shipping) to Vista.

Thats good news....I just Bought a Slim HP PC today....
Unfortunately I bought XP pro OEM software on October 23....

This way I can try Vista.....if I dont like it I still have XP.....

Even tough I am one in the "know"... things might change for the good.
I've read the MS has change the user agreement....they felt the public pressure to do so.....

Cesar.

How did they change it?

I will stick to XP for a while, I mean, I'm just getting used to it.

My dad's friend is still used to 98 or 2000, but he doesn't game, in fact, I'm not really sure what he does :|

I don't see a need to "upgrade" to vista when I can barely run XP as it is, although they do actually tend to secure it more. :?

I read that MS removed the only "2" re-installment of the OS before you are in trouble to run it again.

A lot of business are still running in Windows 2000 for its reliability and simplicity.

MS is gonna have a LOT of trouble convincing business to upgrade to vista.
Or probably the security for information would do it. I dont know.

What I know is that for every new system built from the big manufacturers the OS will come as a standard and therefore Vista will spread sooner or later.

I own 2 XP pro licenses and I will not upgrade to Vista any time soon.
I just bought a slimline HP PC with Media Center installed and it qualifies for a "free" upgrade to Vista.

This way I will try vista just to know the system a little closer.

What I dont like is that you need at leat 2 GB just to run the OS....add that to other programs like Photoshop CS2 and you are up to 4GB or more....

lol I only have 1 gig and I need 2 to run BF2

Its too bad M$cro$oft missed out on the christmas rush. Wow, they might've made alot more...than worthless little coupons...oh well.

What the hell are you talking about?

What the hell are you talking about?

What we are talking about friend is the new and upcoming Windows Operating system called Windows Vista..what planet are you from?

I believe the question was more what are you getting at with that statement. I think he fully realizes you were talking about Vista.

What the hell do you mean "worthless little coupons"
