Be it that I was a bit of a beta tester for Vista, I hated it. I didn't run into any major bugs, but I found an annoying one during the beta phase (which I'm sure was fixed for RTM). There's no real improvements with Vista besides making some of the interfaces harder to navigate and having to deal with a ton of pop-ups just to run a single EXE file. Heck, some of the more popular games may not even run on Vista, like the Battlefield series and I've heard Halo didn't work either. The Aero style is crap, sorry to say. But seriously, it really is and I don't want to look at it again. The sidebar is next to useless, even though it had a couple useful gadgets on it, but that's what it was all good for. The motion desktop (some of you may have heard of it), is more than likely going to run up your system resources even further than the Aero Glass does. I can't test this out since Vista no longer works on my system for some unknown reason.

Also, to point out, no one is going to buy a whole new computer just to support Vista's insane requirements. The bare minimum may just run out your wallet pretty quickly. And the $250 asking price for Ultimate just isn't really worth it for now. Sure, my system that I hope to build will support Vista, but there is no way I'm going to put that OS on there, one for the bugs that could creep up, and two, since I don't feel like messing with it's security settings to make those pop-ups to run a single EXE file that will quickly drive me up the freakin' wall 10 times over just to shut them up. (yes, they are that annoying)

In other words, I don't like Vista, it's just not worth it, and it could tick a lot of people off very quickly. (dang that was a lot to say for one OS...) Maybe about the complexity, Vista has more than XP, and like you've said the Vista always ask the allowance of a program to be executed. That instance is only present in the beta and release candidate 1 version. It make sure that you know all the application that executed when you use it. About the game, you can use the program compatibility wizard. It's not included in the beta version of Vista, but included in the RC1 Vista. It can make the program runs like in the XP and no error. About the computer's upgrade, well maybe it give you a high requirement, but that will be the same as the 98's era. 98 just need 128MB memory and only 500MB hard disk, but the XP needs 512MB RAM, the same case, right? ^^The 45-employee company that calls itself BitTorrent is planning to use its software to launch a download site, called the BitTorrent Entertainment Network, that will distribute more than 5,000 titles from digital movies, TV shows, games and other media. In the battle for the nascent online video market, BitTorrent could be a competitor, thanks to its existing reputation for speedy file distribution. It also has an established user base that the company says numbers 135 million.

That's the kind of muscle that could immediately pit the company against some of the sector's heavyweights, including YouTube, Brightcove and Joost, a new peer-to-peer service started by the founders of Skype and Kazaa. Joost recently partnered with some big entertainment companies, such as Viacom.

Sure, my system that I hope to build will support Vista, but there is no way I'm going to put that OS on there, one for the bugs that could creep up, and two, since I don't feel like messing with it's security settings to make those pop-ups to run a single EXE file that will quickly drive me up the freakin' wall 10 times over just to shut them up. (yes, they are that annoying)

In other words, I don't like Vista, it's just not worth it, and it could tick a lot of people off very quickly. (dang that was a lot to say for one OS...) Maybe about the complexity, Vista has more than XP, and like you've said the Vista always ask the allowance of a program to be executed. That instance is only present in the beta and release candidate 1 version. It make sure that you know all the application that executed when you use it. About the game, you can use the program compatibility wizard. It's not included in the beta version of Vista, but included in the RC1 Vista. It can make the program runs like in the XP and no error. About the computer's upgrade, well maybe it give you a high requirement, but that will be the same as the 98's era. 98 just need 128MB memory and only 500MB hard disk, but the XP needs 512MB RAM, the same case, right? ^^The 45-employee company that calls itself BitTorrent is planning to use its software to launch a download site, called the BitTorrent Entertainment Network, that will distribute more than 5,000 titles from digital movies, TV shows, games and other media. In the battle for the nascent online video market, BitTorrent could be a competitor, thanks to its existing reputation for speedy file distribution. It also has an established user base that the company says numbers 135 million.

That's the kind of muscle that could immediately pit the company against some of the sector's heavyweights, including YouTube, Brightcove and Joost, a new peer-to-peer service started by the founders of Skype and Kazaa. Joost recently partnered with some big entertainment companies, such as Viacom.

Be it that I was a bit of a beta tester for Vista, I hated it. I didn't run into any major bugs, but I found an annoying one during the beta phase (which I'm sure was fixed for RTM). There's no real improvements with Vista besides making some of the interfaces harder to navigate and having to deal with a ton of pop-ups just to run a single EXE file. Heck, some of the more popular games may not even run on Vista, like the Battlefield series and I've heard Halo didn't work either. The Aero style is crap, sorry to say. But seriously, it really is and I don't want to look at it again. The sidebar is next to useless, even though it had a couple useful gadgets on it, but that's what it was all good for. The motion desktop (some of you may have heard of it), is more than likely going to run up your system resources even further than the Aero Glass does. I can't test this out since Vista no longer works on my system for some unknown reason.

Also, to point out, no one is going to buy a whole new computer just to support Vista's insane requirements. The bare minimum may just run out your wallet pretty quickly. And the $250 asking price for Ultimate just isn't really worth it for now.
