Removed Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 definitely not before SP 3 or similar.... looks to be buggier than XP already and a system hog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 definitely not before SP 3 or similar.... looks to be buggier than XP already and a system hog! Yes heard its a memory hog.

ir_fuel Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The worst part is it will be filled with stuff you dont care about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have to say I've had ZERO issues with XP and it's been the most stable MS OS I've had to date, so in no rush to change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Was offered a copy of this last week by a mate, turned it down though, XP does a great job, no issues with it at all so I fail to see the point in upgrading to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 from what i've read certain games will only install and play on vista so you WILL have to upgrade if you really need to play that game i guess they would do a xp verison as well but only time will tell think i'll stick with xp for some time to come, if you like the look of vista then there's programmes on the net that transforms the look f.o.c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC350z Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Should receive my copy by Feb. There's a massive global free upgrade for new Dell PC's purchased after October 06 I think. They'll grab a huge number of users from this. Lot of people in the US getting upgrade. Will install mine when I get it after a system ghost just to see what the story is. Have to test it for work before it comes as standard on new PC's and we're stuck wth it. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
