the "average" Windows Vista PC will feature 2 dual (or more)-core CPUs running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; 1 terabyte or more of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today.

haha. so many microsoft haters.

computers are tools. windows NT series (NT4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP) has been very good.and although I agree before they were sub par. I enjoy Windows I enjoy having control over everything. sure you have more space to screw up unlike Mac OS which unless you know Unix you cant do anyhting. but I like that extra control.

the prices will drop tremendously.

PCs have a cool way of coming out with new faster stuff at the same price.

for example you know that the top of the line graphics card will allways cost 300-400 dollars that was teh case with Voodoo 1,2,3,4,5; Nforce 2,3,4,5,6,7

That's totally not true, where'd you get that from, or did you just make it up?

I know that they've been demo-ing it for years on existing hardware, that the Beta comes out tomorrow and will run on existing hardware, and that you still haven't pointed to or even named a source, you just said three big company names.

But hey, if a guy on Newschoolers says it's true, then it must be.

One good thing for mac is that os X has been out for awile... so when vista is shitty or unstable for a few years (or less... think back to how windows 95 and 98 could crash with one minor accident) ours will be fully functional... i doubt vista will be perfect from the beginning

Does it annoy anybody that the first trick landed in Not Another Ski Movie WAS SEVEN AND A HALF FUCKING MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE???????????????? i paid for a ski movie... not a tour of a lightbulb factory
