No it is still buggy. Using Beta 2 Last build. Can't import email Messages nor is there virus protection that works with it yet. Secondly Xp is faster. I'm running the 64 bit version and it has show good things except, make over in face and menus.

I totally agree... or at least until all the cool software developers make the absolute switch... but yea, we will hold out to the end, while keeping an eye open along the way, just to see if we are truly mossing something which will dramatically change the way we approach various tasks...
If it ain't broke.... ;)
I have beta 2 installed and you can download CA's eTrust Antivirus free for 1 year with updates and it works great with Vista.
Not really, I cannot say that I am a master of all the MS os's but I have worked my way thru all the versions of os's from DOS to Windows XP Pro and have never been happy with any of the new versions or upgrades. No matter what hype is trumpetted before any release I have always been dismayed with the continual need for downloaded patches, upgrades etc. and some associated costs
I have not been exposed to VISTA yet but am worried in that I have yet to see any comforting blurbs from Microsoft re the ability/non-ability to continue with applications that are installed now. While I understand the push to move from 8 to 16 to 32 to 64 and then onto 128 I am unsure of what it will do for me as an end 'home-user'. I use a small classroom now where I teach Windows rudiments to Senior Citizens, along with that I have problems in that some of the computers are Win98SE and some WinXP. Support for the 98 is to be terminated and I have no doubt that the same will happen with XP in due course. I teach for free and rely on donated systems (which are getting harder to come by) for the class. I cannot afford to purchase XP (at $200 per time) for all the systems and wonder what software problems I will face when Vista becomes the norm. I purchased XaraXtreme with the hope of becoming sufficiently proficient in that I would be able to pass some of Xara to those students who have gotten past the attaching pix of their gchildren and now want progress to the enhancement and manipulation of said pix. Will
I be able to use Xara in the future?
Why not? Xara Xtreme runs under MS Windows 98/ME/2000/XP (and certainly under Windows Vista) and Xara Xtreme LX runs under Linux and Mac OS X... :)Quote:

No!!! If what I have read is any indication of what is to come, a lot of people will have to go and purchase a new computer and possibly monitor to be able to run Vista. Another rip off for the public again by Microsoft...
