Public release of Windows Vista today (Beta 2)
Had my machine all ready to go, But I guess so did alot of other people.

The Down load site is so overburdened that you can't download the ISO file. :(

1. Well, you know what they say...
A computer without Windows is like a dog without a brick tied to its head.

You can get OSX today, no waiting. And it will actually work!

3. Actually the vista user interface is pretty nice.
I'm sure that the advocates of other os's will disagree, but they most likely will do so from a state of blissful ignorance. Vista has some rather neat features, and Microsoft making the beta public doesn't exactly suck either. As long as it is free, and if you have the resources, try it out, you might be surprised.

4. I totally agree!
My Computer exceeds all the requirements for Windows Vista.

And if you are interested just go to www.microsoft.com there is a link on the front page.

BTW the Beta, it's FREE!

6. Read the small print on the communication freebees...
I will NEVER upgrade, I will switch systems when this one is no longer supported.
