The Vista Thread
I guess we should call this the official Vista thread... Who's looking forward to it, who doesn't care? Who is going to upgrade their XP to a Vista machine, rather than just getting it next time you buy a computer is what I'm the most curious about. Does anyone think it's worth it to upgrade their current version of windows. The early versions made me, kinda scared, it looked like it stunk, but it sounds like its really coming together now. RC2, just got released, for the most part I've seen good reviews (cnet was the only negative one I've seen), and I was just curious what everyone's opinion was.
