I bought it. I love it so far, except a few prog's have a few probs displaying right, Like my Logitech Harmony Universal Remote will shut down the Areo interfact temporarily while I use the prog, but once I close it areo starts back up automatically so its not that big a deal.

Indeed. Besides, not to be an ass here but I still don't see any advantages on Vista over XP

[QUOTE="themyth01"][QUOTE="AdobeArtist"] Heard this from more than 1 person, one of them being a Canon service technician, another being a good friend of mine who works at Futureshop (major Canadian tech box store), and I can vouch for his tech savvy, I trust his insight. Some might regard this as a wild rumor, and sure it may sound like one, but keep in mind this is from the same people that implemented Activation Codes. I'm fine for now with my XP machine, don't know what I'll do in 4-5 years when I buy a new computer :|

My friend on college has the ultimate version of Vista and he has many pirated apps, it doesn't seem to affect his computer, not sure if he's hacked Vista somehow though.

Two Questions: 1) Ultimate Vista is damn expensive. Did he actually buy, get it with a big legal discount, or is it itself a pirated copy that has said feature disabled? 2) How long has he had his Vista? Since there's no way to know how frequently Vista supposedly performs a system scan. maybe it waits after 60 days from installation, the same way XP waits 60 days to be activated before shutting you out.

lol yeah im never buying it for that exact reason.....

I take it you also heard of that Vista feature that scans your system and deletes any unregistered apps it finds.

Are you serious?

You can still pirate stuff if you want. There's no way possible form Vista to check the validity of your programs. Vista also has a 120 day trial.

I don't know if he actually 'bought' it, he's very tech savvy so he might have found a different alternative if there is one. He's had Windows Vista since released or close to it.

There really isn't advantages, I totally agree with you. I just got bored of using XP for so long and I just wanted to make some sort of change. Vista is nice, but doesn't really do things that make me think I've done a good decision getting rid of XP. Not that it doesn't excel at all it, I'm kind of neutral at this point.

I can't say that I do either. all the graphics just make my laptop's GeForce Go 7800 work harder and run hotter. :? but my moving background is hella cool.

I got my $100 Ultimate copy from my boy that works at Microsoft. The one that told me he's a beta-tester for some games in addition to his real job, and that he's waiting for the HDMI 360 to launch before he buys a 360 (he was dead-set on a PS3).

[QUOTE="Nex_Ownage"]I didn't but i'm upgrading to a Mac soon. :)MapleGrunt

LOL, you don't "upgrade" to a MAC. MACs are inferior, they are weaker and barely any games and programs are available on them.

Not to mention the lack of right-click!

To borrow from VandalVideo - MISCONCEPTION!!! Macs since they 1st went to the OS X (ver 10) have had right click support, so about 6 or 7 years already. Though 2 button mice weren't packed with the system until recently, you could always plug in any USB mouse and it works.

Why couldn't they just have added the two buttons in the first place like a functional computer?

I bought a laptop & got Vista Home Premium package free in the mail. Only had to pay $10.70 shipping cost. Installed on laptop and it works fine. Display formats and visuals are nice to look at, but thats about it.

I can get it through school. We have some setup where all CS students get it for free. Though I really don't want it yet. I actually thought about it, but i would need a major RAM upgrade.
