Is anyone planning on buying it when it's out... early next year isn't it?
I'm still quite happy with XP, i'm not sure I actually need something new!

Another windows already? Blimey! Xp is quite user friendly, i dont think i will be 'upgrading' just yet ![]()

Exactly. It looks sweet, but doesn't do anything new that I need.
I still don't use most of my features in XP - in fact i'm annoyed it doesn't run some of my newer games as well as it should.
DirectX 10 will be nice though.
Real nice.

£2,000? Why? No wonder BitTorrent's thriving if they're charging that much for a bloody beta |
It's to become an MSDN subscriber, they're the only "legal" people who can use the Beta

Well, with every new windows version, you need to upgrade your hardware
I had an old laptop which runned really fast with Win95 (or a light Linux installation). Once you had Win98 on it,
it was just unbearably slow.
I guess it is the same with the new version....to make people buy some new hardware.
Another nasty thing is that windows itself gets slower and slower the more you install and the more
you use it (without fragmenting your harddisk) - Linux doesnt need that - it never slows down.

I have used Vista, In fact am using it now. Very Good OS will defiently be worth Upgrading when it come out at the end of the year\ beggining of next. Its the new features and the the new UI. Very Good.

5 years for an OS upgrade a long time.
OS X is ten times better 3 years ago.
