Buying a new MS operating system in the first week of release?

*sharp intake of breath*

I wouldn't touch a new version of Windows in the first year, never mind the first week. Wait until the first Service Pack is brought out.

Yes, the three dimensional Menu is a big step forward (though utilises a lot of Memory), & of course it's just nonsense to suggest that they copied Apple.

Gates IS the man.

Really?
Reviews i have seen say XP does the same stuff as Vista just it's a little easier.
Also it's recommended you buy a new computer before getting Vista as it won't run on anything more than 6 months old Cheesy

Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.

Liked DOS actually, it does what you tell it to do, unlike Microsoft which tells you what you're going to do.

I hope you bought it from the US, it can be nearly twice as expensive from the UK

"Pirates have already cracked the security features of Vista which allows pirates to download Vista and a product key and to install it on their systems, only a few days after Vista went gold."
