Who will buy Vista

[ThatOnePerson]

along with FSX to maxmize the game?

Eventually, everyone will be running Vista

I'll probably be using it within a couple years of it's release, after building a nice 64-bit system

But personally, I don't see why MS is in a hurry to develop a new operating system. Unlike windows 95, 98, or ME, Windows XP seems to be keeping up with technology. Well, for the most part. As far as I know, XP seems to be compatible with most hardware, and for everything I run, it seems stable and efficient.

I will not buy it. I do not see the point.  A new OS for mega Euros on a computer that is two years old, when I will get it free, so to say, when I buy a new computer as the installed OS. Here in Germany you can buy a real top end machine for about 600 to 800 Euros depending on what you want. The competition here between some of the big boys and the "stack it high, sell it low" people, you will see real deals to be had. I have a P4, 2.4, 1Gig, 256MB 9250 Radeon, 80Gig and a 60Gig Hard drives as basic before I add the other bits that litter my desk. Good deals or not, there has to be a limit. New game or sim = new computer, just pandas to Microsoft

Probably I will. After having upgraded. Which will happen sometime next year (mid 2007).

I'm not going to lose sleep on it.

Thats what I was thinking

In time, I will need it so I'll have to buy it

From what I know about Longhorn there could well be 32 and 64 bit Vista versions but I don't know for sure (ahem)

[Craig.]

No doubt I will buy a computer with it on, making sure it can run fsx to its full ability. Otherwise I wont bother.

From what I know about Longhorn there could well be 32 and 64 bit Vista versions but I don't know for sure (ahem)

I heard there is going to be 7 versions

Home, Pro and Corporate in 32bit or 64bit

and Server

or somthing like that   its a vague recollection that I read some months ago

so forgive me if its inaccurate

The point about getting it 'free' with a new PC is a very good one and thats why I voted no. Upto now, i've always 'updated' bits as i've gone along. I could not see the point in buying a new case, keyboard, mouse, monitor, CD drive, etc. when all I wanted was a bit more performance. In fact I still have the original CD Rom drive in my present machine from my original PC in 1999!

However, with Vista on the horizon, I may well look at a new complete system. For the cost of a new motherboard, procesor, OS and DVD drive would be more than a complete package, especialy if it comes without a monitor.

I dont know if i will buy Vista... i mean i'm not that happy with windows at the moment... very user unfriendly.... i think mt next computer will be a Mac, that is if it will run FS... so it all depends  ::)

MAYBE  ;)

[flyboy 28]

I have enough time to decide whether to or not.

[Galactic_eyes]

Yes, but not right away.

[F-16Viper]

i have a dumb question... what is Vista?

[ThatOnePerson]

The next operating system after XP

[Gunny04]

I'll Buy it for my next computer, so yes..... I had XP a week before much was compatible back in the fall of 2001 and its been a jewl.... So I'll be building a comp for Vista more or less. I'll just save up my money and Build a PC Once Vista is out and has specs for it. Cheers, Gunny
