I haven't really researched Windows Vista, however I hear it still has a few bugs. If it gets good reviews, I will upgrade. Its not nessesary to update imediately, however I might soon.

I think I will have to upgrade to vista when I build my new computer. I am sick of the lack of support for XPx64 (Last time I checked we STILL don't have a working SP2) and I want a bunch of the media center integration on a 64 bit OS. If it weren't for the whole 64vs32 bit I wouldn't touch it for another year at least.

Vista at present has to many unknown security issues
which have to be addressed and I don't think anybody
knows how many bugs exist in this software. Vista is
said to be the most secure version of Windows ever
released, only time will tell.

Personally, I don't like the idea of having to upgrade
my entire system just to run Vista. If I used Microsoft's
Windows Vista upgrade advisor which is only available
to Xp users, it will not work with other editions of Windows.
I know my machine would fail hopellessly along with many
other users.

When you do get Vista be prepared for popups, dialog boxes,
warning messages galore. I don't know about anybody else, but
popups bug the he** out of me and from what I understand Vista
has been crowned popup king. I heard it took someone four clicks
just to empty the recycle bin, so I think I will be running Xp for awhile.

I have and find that it does everything it it described on the packet. I have downloaded the Home Premium 64bit and as for as drivers are concerned they were a bit sparse to begin with more and more now available. I have found that you realistic have to have 2046 of ram and I have a 3ghz 2D cpu. Dont be shy put your toe in the water you will like it.

let's start an Intel vs AMD poll. or a... Upgrade to DualCore, Quadcore poll.

what are the requirements/standards for a D-A-L official poll? easier to narrow down and suggest a new poll

The requirements are simply anything that we all feel is a relevant subject to poll. Perhaps we should poll the ideas for the polls? lol

If you start a new poll in the chat room it should appear on the homepage. Feel free to kick off with your ideas.
