Generally it's not bad, but lots of problems with device drivers, not all are supported by OS.

I just got this from my CallForHelpTV newsletter about Windows Vista; Windows Vista is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited software release of the past year. And staying true to form, Microsoft has pushed the release date back a few times. As the projected release dates have drawn nearer, was always an expectation that a delay announcement isn't far off. However, it appears the wait is almost over... really... probably. \nVista beta testers who reported one or more bugs during the development were given access to the final release as of yesterday. In two weeks, the final release will be available to volume license customers. If you're interested in getting your hand on a stand alone copy to install on your existing computer, you still have to wait until January 30. \n\nI hope this helps.

At the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas on Jan. 4, 2006 Bill Gates presented the first broad demonstration of Windows Vista, Microsoft’s next-generation operating system, due later this year.  There has been a beta version available for some time, but under a different name.  Some of the new OS features will include a sleek user interface, richer multitasking, etc.  The new Windows Photo Gallery will improve working with digital photo.  As with all of the MS OS launch dates, it will remain to be seen, whether it delivers on time and free of bugs.

Windows Vista Capable and Premium Ready PCs\n.................................\n\nAre you looking to buy a Windows XP-based computer today but want to make sure that it can run Windows Vista? There's no need to wait. When you buy a new PC that carries the Windows Vista Capable or Premium Ready PC designation, you’ll be able to upgrade to one of the editions of Windows Vista while taking advantage of all the opportunities offered by Windows XP today.\nWhat is a Windows Vista Capable PC?\n\nA new PC that carries the Windows Vista Capable PC logo can run Windows Vista. All editions of Windows Vista will deliver core experiences such as innovations in organizing and finding information, security, and reliability. All Windows Vista Capable PCs will run these core experiences at a minimum. Some features available in the premium editions of Windows Vista—like the new Windows Aero user experience—may require advanced or additional hardware.\n\nA Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:\n-A modern processor (at least 800MHz).\n-512 MB of system memory.\n-A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.\n\nWindows Vista Premium Ready PCs\nTo get an even better Windows Vista experience, including the Windows Aero user experience, ask for a Windows Vista Capable PC that is designated Premium Ready, or choose a PC that meets or exceeds the Premium Ready requirements described below. Features available in specific premium editions of Windows Vista, such as the ability to watch and record live TV, may require additional hardware.\n\nA Windows Vista Premium Ready PC includes at least:\n-1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.\n-1 GB of system memory.\n-A graphics processor that runs Windows Aero.\n-128 MB of graphics memory.\n-40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.\n-DVD-ROM Drive3\n-Audio output capability.\n-Internet access capability.\n\n........\nCan the Windows Vista experience vary on different PCs?\n\nYes. Windows Vista is the first Windows operating system with a user experience that adapts to take advantage of the capabilities of the hardware on which it is installed.\n\nAll Windows Vista Capable PCs will be able to run at least the core experiences of Windows Vista.\n\nAll Windows Vista Premium Ready PCs can deliver even better Windows Vista experiences, including the new Windows Aero user experience.\nDoes buying a Windows Vista Capable PC mean that I will receive a free upgrade to Windows Vista?\n\nNo. A PC that is Windows Vista Capable or Premium Ready means that the PC is ready for an upgrade from Windows XP. You would still need to purchase the edition of Windows Vista that you want to install on your Windows Vista Capable or Premium Ready PC.\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\nAs for LINUX, anything from an old 386 processor based PC with 2MB of RAM up to the modern dual core, 64bit, etc. with 512 MB RAM. Depending of what "distro" you choose. \n\nAnyway, if you want to run one of Debian, Xandros, Mandriva, Fedora Project, Ubuntu, Knoppix, you'll get it up & running on any PC having a better than Intel's Pentium II @ 500MHz or AMD's Athlon/Duron @ 600MHz processor with 128 MB RAM. And it will run smoothly enough to can watch your favorite movies, or TV channel, write your reports or work on an Excell sheet.

Team at Microsoft has put in a lot of hard work on their upcomming OS that is Vista. More security features and would be lot better than the current one. I tested the BETA 1 of Vista and was impressed. But i would personally suggest you to go with VIsta in early 2008. As it would be a new product still they might have to work on many thing even when it would be released. So why not wait and read the reviews. Once when things settle in early 2008 go for it. I am sure you are dying to lay your hands on VISTA but have patience.

Yes.\n\nWhen you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

Although your machine is Vista compatible, I do not believe that Vista is out yet.  Microsoft is not quiet -- when it comes out, you will know.

Right now, the only one built for it is Windows XP 64, but I wouldn't waste my money on it. it has close to no driver support and it was designed too quickly in order to come out for the processor. Wait for Vista to come out. That is where you will get to see the real difference.

MS has made them time limited, and they will expire after a set period of time. Personally, I found the Beta to be nothing but trouble. I wouldn't even try at this point if you haven't yet. It's buggy as hell. No wonder they have missed several launch dates and changed the name from Longhorn to Vista. Wait until they get it right (if they ever do). You'll sleep better.
