I personally like it. There are some things that MS still need to work out but it's a nice operating system.

Nice operating system huh ?
You won't be saying that once you get the retail version...
Besides, i noticed you're not using all the new specs, like the Aero desktop... Guess your system didn't want to even try it ?

I suggest all you kids start using those brains and think before you go out and get vista without knowing the consequences : http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/308662

Yes my system does support Aero and I do use it. I'm still using the RC2 version so I'm still testing. All the software and hardware I have on it now works fine.

Why don't you like it?

messed up the autoquote there a bit, amigo.

there's lots of reasons to hate vista, from being a systems hog to DRM to the typically windows BSOD and instability issues. it's simply inferior to what can be found out there for far cheaper/free.

the *only* reason to stick with windows is for the games. everything else can be done as well or better on a linux system. the key to have a gaming machine and a regular-use, down-tuned machine, which i'd say most people who game have anyway. just put linux on the down-tuned machine and you'll be a happy camper. :-)

*edit*
based upon what you and neph and many others have said, creakster, that's what i currently intend to do. my only worry is that the conversion might be a bit tricky for me, but it should go well overall, i hope.

I'll have to read it later. Re the quotes, I just clicked on the quote link so I don't know what happened.

You really made that? It's awsome!

As for my resolution, the higher the merrier! I love hi-res images, even if they run into file sizes above 5MB ;)

Here's mine, BTW.
