When are these cards supposed to appear?

I am getting excited about Windows Vista and will make sure my computer
is upgraded accordingly.

Don't dampen my enthusiasm.

As someone who has been using computers for over 25 years, new OS's
still give me a buzz.

It is easy to knock it, but I would wager that the programming teams
who created it would eat you up in 5 mins.

Unless they're running vista, in which case they are still waiting for their
PCs to boot.

I've tried it. It is far more bloated than XP, has a severe shortage of
drivers and useful software. It's pretty, I'll give it that much. Too bad
it requires about $5000 worth of hardware that hasn't even hit the shelves
yet to run it at a decent speed. (one that won't put you to sleep, that is)

Yeah I want an hybrid drive.

Windows is and always has been bloated, but then it is still the best
computer gaming platform - which demands performance.

I know I will curse at it and probably look for my W2K disc, but that
is half the fun lol

I think the MS folks do run vista, it is part of their policy to
in-house test their own software - by actually using it.

I'm running Vista (RC2) and XP on this PC (A64X2 4600, 1Gig, 500Gb+ SATA,
7300GT, Xfi etc) and yes, its runs fine. But it doesn't really do anything
XP doesn't do already, its mostly just eye-candy.
And just wait until you get your retail Vista, do a couple of PC upgrades
and then M$ expect you to buy a new copy of the o/s.

Why? I thought DX10 wouldn't be out with Vista. That it would
be released later, and that DX9.l, or something would come with
Vista's release. I might be mistaken on this. Anywho, it'll problably
be a year, or more before DX10 titles start rolling out freaquently,
and there will problably have been DX10 videocard revisions that would
improve, or fix the first round of that hardware. Of course if you've
got $500.00, or more...

Evidently upgrading from XP Home to Vista Home Premium will cost about $159!
There's a Vista Home Basic upgrade for $99, but it's reportedly a very stripped
down version. Since MS decided against including WinFS long ago, there's been
nothing really exciting left in Vista.

For the most part, I'm quite happy with XP and haven't seen or heard of anything
new in Vista that would make it worth anything even remotely approaching $159.
For the first time since 3.0, I won't be getting in line to buy a new version of
Windows.
