wow. Microsoft doesn't know how to fix things. It requires double the memory from vista ( 2gb for 64-bit) and 20 gb of hard drive space.

Wow. I'll not be getting a PC with that horrible suck up of memory. Next computer will definitely be a mac.

Hmm my computer will have 8GB of ram so it won't be a problem for me at all Im gonna wait to see what other people think of it after its official release.

They haven't finished fixing Vista yet, and they've already released another operating system?

I'm sure every new computer buyer will be THRILLED to have it...

First off: Vista failed, Microsoft knows it, Windows 7 is their answer.

Second: If you have a 32 bit processor and you don't have a gig of ram yet you have really fallen behind. I don't see how it is such a big problem.

The most expensive 1gb ram. $24. Is it really that big of deal?

RAM is surprisingly cheap now compared to what it was awhile ago. I can get 10GB of RAM put into my computer for 150 AUD which is like 130 USD

It's the 20GB of hard disk space that's really excessive.But I heard Windows 7 was a nice and powerful OS.

I thought they dumped Vista...

I like my Windows... their marketing strategy annoys me... they stopped releasing the XP OS (where they took years to finally clear most bugs) and force everyone with new computers to use the half finished Vista... then now they dump that and go "oh oops sorry I just sold you some glamorous rubbish, here's another piece if crap you should buy"

But with that said I wouldn't go Mac xD I'll just find a copy of XP in the black market or something...

Personally I love vista over XP. I've only had one game which couldn't run(KOTOR) and thats not a big deal. Vista has really worked out a lot of its bugs lately and if you have a computer that can handle it, it's very nice.

I like vista too. The only problem I ever hated about it was the com surrogate error I kept getting, but I've fixed that already.
