I haven't really researched Windows Vista, however I hear it still has a few bugs. If it gets good reviews, I will upgrade. Its not nessesary to update imediately, however I might soon.

I think I will have to upgrade to vista when I build my new computer. I am sick of the lack of support for XPx64 (Last time I checked we STILL don't have a working SP2) and I want a bunch of the media center integration on a 64 bit OS. If it weren't for the whole 64vs32 bit I wouldn't touch it for another year at least.

Vista at present has to many unknown security issues
which have to be addressed and I don't think anybody
knows how many bugs exist in this software. Vista is
said to be the most secure version of Windows ever
released, only time will tell.

Personally, I don't like the idea of having to upgrade
my entire system just to run Vista. If I used Microsoft's
Windows Vista upgrade advisor which is only available
to Xp users, it will not work with other editions of Windows.
I know my machine would fail hopellessly along with many
other users.

When you do get Vista be prepared for popups, dialog boxes,
warning messages galore. I don't know about anybody else, but
popups bug the he** out of me and from what I understand Vista
has been crowned popup king. I heard it took someone four clicks
just to empty the recycle bin, so I think I will be running Xp for awhile.

Recently upgraded to Vista.

I much prefer it to XP.

I have and find that it does everything it it described on the packet. I have downloaded the Home Premium 64bit and as for as drivers are concerned they were a bit sparse to begin with more and more now available. I have found that you realistic have to have 2046 of ram and I have a 3ghz 2D cpu. Dont be shy put your toe in the water you will like it.

offtopic here but we need a new poll. lol.

Agreed

let's start an Intel vs AMD poll. or a... Upgrade to DualCore, Quadcore poll.

what are the requirements/standards for a D-A-L official poll? easier to narrow down and suggest a new poll

The requirements are simply anything that we all feel is a relevant subject to poll. Perhaps we should poll the ideas for the polls? lol

If you start a new poll in the chat room it should appear on the homepage. Feel free to kick off with your ideas.

Yes already have
