Any of you girls on Vista yet?

Just got 4Gb of RAM and a new Raptor drive, so I stick 2gb in my rig and the Raptor and stick XP on it or do I go to Vista...

Decisions decisions...

Got Office 2007 so thats not an issue.
Does Steam work.
Does IL2 work.
Does BF2/BF2142 work.

I think Madman is the only Vista whore at the moment

I'm on vista.
Steam works fine, so does BF2, not tried IL2.

Its starting to get a bit better for support now.

I will be on Vista by next weekend, nearly got my rig up and running, probably just in time for me to move to a new flat with no broad bean

Might go XP-64 otherwise I wont get to use all my RAM...

I actually thought that this is what mad was using rather than vista, might be wrong tho.

Has their been an announcement on SP1 release for vista yet, I know I read some stuff about prep for it.

After reading <a href="index.php?showtopic=1499" target="_blank">Madman's</a> post on Vista I'm sticking with XP64.

It's getting much better, i still can't use autocad or nero, but that could be because i'm thick and can't follow the instructions.

I even have my vista media center working almost flawlessly in 720p with 2 tv tuners now!

I can't see myself going back to XP now, it's a case of perseverance, you're going to have to go through it at some point

With Cad, you will want either 2007 or 2008 versions

Im currently running vista business 32 on both my pc and work laptop

I will be rebuilding my home pc to XP64 for when I upgrade to C2D with 4GB/8GB ram, it recognises 3.5GB on my laptop, but im also running XP64 and it flies

Vista 64 is the way if your going to get it, Ultimate is not worth it as of yet as MS have been slow in releasing extra's that you paid for.

SP1 may be November time...

Cash for a microsoft product??

Autocad runs fine but the license manager isn't supported yet (well at least i cant get the damned thing to run!)
