So what do you guys think?

The next Windows generation "Windows Vista" will be a follow-up of Windows XP.

Some people said that from Windows 98SE/ME/2k to Windows XP/2k3 was a hole revolution...

Guess what? Windows XP to Windows Vista will be even a larger revolution.
Finally Microsoft comes with a new and stable core which can run programs from older 64-bit, 32-bit, 16-bit Windows OS-ses.

To my opinion it isn't as stable as Linux core 2.6 yet but it comes very close though.

The whole layout is strange...

I don't have a copy but my dad has a server (and a very expensive MSDN license) (his experimental pc) running Windows Vista b?ta rc1 build 5048...

Though Avalon, WinFS and other stuff isn't ready it looks promising.
I even like the lay-out, something I couldn't say about XP's standard lay-out.

The next DirectX will be named WGF (Windows Graphics Foundation) and will fully support HDR and Shader 3.0 and hardware accelerated physics.
I think this is the perfect OS for 1944: D-Day.

Further Avalon (which isn't incorporated yet) won't work without a reasonable 64MB graphics card (think Radeon 7000, Voodoo 4/5, GeForce 2 MX/GTS or higher).
The new Windows graphical user interface (environment) is fully 3D...
But when you are going to play a game Windows turns into a console like in Linux and it will no longer "render" thumbnails on your desktop when you are playing a game...

Very very promising, the 64-bit b?ta is out too and sources say it will be written for the next 4 year. It will be able to handle multi-processor of multi-cores (4 max.) and 32GB RAM (32-bit) 65536GB (64-bit)...

OMFG, I want it on my pc :mad: and I want the full version...
But first I need a quicker pc although my system would run Vista just as easy as XP.

Vista's hardware accelerated 3D & Vectorbased GUI should be much quicker than the XP software-rendered vector markup VML GUI...

Anybody else here who has or knows someone who has Vista can he/she post screenshots?

:rolleyes: Gee, Great, more things to buy for my PC, I was hopping WXP would be the last installment for a much long grace time.

I know it's been out for a few years but I just got my XP pro and kinda happy with it, altho I miss ME, ME sucked at first but it grows on you like a wart.

Anyone know how much this is going to cost?

Well one thing is sure Windows Vista is excellent for games...
And they say the GUI is more user friendly the core has some sort of auto-thread blocker which means that if a program stalls of hangs it will block the thead or give it less CPU and RAM priority so you can work further with other programs...

I also heard Microsoft AntiSpyware will be standard in Windows Vista, but it don't really like MSAS because MS had a deal with Alexa (former Gator, yeah its one of the great spyware names) to not delete or detect their spyware...

Its just so sneaky...

2006...

It will cost exactly the same as Windows XP.
But you'll get more quality because the technology has changed since 2001...
