    I am staying well, well away from Vista until I am obliged to upgrade for DX10 games. I really can't believe the extent to which MS have gone for form over function-you know you're in trouble when your new OS's big selling point is 'Transparencies! Woo!'

    Heh. Vista Schmista.

    Those transparencies look nice, though. I must-- resist-- getting-- Vis-- ta. . . .
    Arrgh! That's it! I'm gonna get it, just for the graphics! I mean, truly, it IS a GREAT OS improvement, isn't it?

    It is worthless to just go out and buy Vista now. Better to wait at least until after the first service pack so the problems it has can be worked out. I am probably gonna get it when i upgrade my pc in a year or two

    I think there were more points when I tried the beta but since that was a while ago I forgot about them. Not saying they were big points though. It just felt better here and there.
