I am running Vista on an Intel Quad Core platform with 8GB of RAM and 2 terabye of hard drive space. So performance hasn't been an issue with my setup. But I agree that there is a lot of OS bloat and overhead that I would welcome be eliminated and allow the machine to scream even faster :zoom:

Yes, it's back. I wonder if my browser hadn't refreshed? Maybe I should get a Mac. :D

Nope, Being a PC aint all bad.......:cool:

I agree, but I don't think this will be the case being that they're targeting the Mac crowd with the "make PCs easier to use" approach. I don't like feeling disconnected from what's happening with my pc.
nice specs ;) one great thing about vista is being able to utilize all 8 GB, as opposed to having 8GB on XP and using 3.5 >__>

I downloaded the W7 beta last night from MS Connect. It installed fast and looks good so far. Filed my first bug report too :p:

Vista runs great here. Q9450 with 4 GB running Ultimate 32-bit. Very few people need more than 3.5 GB RAM or need x64. I use the quad core machine as a media center, dev machine, and generally have a ton of windows open and it doesn't bog down. Vista is a dog if you don't have adequate hardware. Still the machine cost less than $1,000 to build and is virtually silent :)

Lots of people say OS X is simpler but I get confused when I try to use it (MS user since 1983). Plus the inflexible, overpriced Apple hardware dongle is ridiculous (unless you're comfortable breaking IP laws to run it on 3rd party hw).

Here's pics of my setup. How many of you have an X5 computer case?? ;)

installed it in my 4 yr old pc pentium D with 2 gb ram in 20 mins, no problem so far, faster than vista in many ways

I doubt I will ever buy another windows machine after living with my imac and macbook over the past 2 years...the new macs are just so damned stable, I've had 0 issues on my 2 machines that get used everyday all day...

:rofl: :rofl: Can somebody say "RATS NEST?"

That case is awesome! :thumbup:
That's nothing... you should see the rats nest of wires behind the equipment in my music studio :(
