      Even XP seemed to have on-going updates all the times..
      Same will go for Vista; shit! I'd be more worried about not seeing updates.. Seems there will always be loopsholes and people will find ways to exploit them.

        I know MS-DOS stands for Microsoft Disk Operating System, but it wasn't originally theirs, thats the point I was making. It was kind of "stolen".

        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

          let me rephrase then...

          i won't use vista until it is reviewed to be as stable as XP is.

            how can one obtain Vista right now? im interested in trying it out on my Mac. I just got done updating XP Pro completely and runs great. I hardly ever run windows anymore but I have it for those apps that must use it.

                  Looks good, but is it a hog?

                        I sure hope I dont need more than 2Gig of ram in my Mac. It will cost nearly $600-700 to upgrade to the full 3Gigs right now.

                        What torrent did you use to get it? any other ways I could possibly get it from you and how to do the Bios reg?

                                  I crashed Vista... BSOD, but it has something to do w/ the creative beta sound card drivers im using...

                                  🙂 we'll see how stable it is after all the manufacters get thier real drivers out...

                                    all I can find on the NG that you sent me to was a beta of vista. What news server do you use?
