| 482039 | 2006-09-02 06:01:00 | To be fair, most people wont be upgrading untill a fully suported cracked version is avaliable :D Yes well. It is US dollars. Greed. I will change when DirectX10 forces me too. Unless someone does a hack and ports DX10 to XP.... |

| 482041 | 2006-09-02 09:11:00 | i think with prices as ridiculous as those, they're unwittingly encouarging piracy of their software.... not that your average system can run vista anyway lol | motorbyclist (188) | ||
| 482042 | 2006-09-02 09:15:00 | Methinks no one is going to port DX10 to XP | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 482043 | 2006-09-02 09:22:00 | if its that expensive then noone will buy it, simple. They will learn from this mistake and eventually cut the price | nobody (5086) | ||
| 482044 | 2006-09-02 09:56:00 | if its that expensive then noone will buy it, simple. They will learn from this mistake and eventually cut the price Yeah but remember that MS as a company is a very slow learner, e.g. putting tabs in IE. But I do agree with you that "no one (well, fewer than expected) will buy it" due to the high price. There WAS an incentive to go to XP, and that was for most of us to dump Win98 and all of its headaches. For me, XP is just fine and I see no reason to upgrade, especially to get the transparent window thing. Metla predicts Vista will flop. I hope so, at least while the price is so high. My guess it that as soon as it is released, a team of Chinese will work day and night to crack it. No matter how hard MS makes it un-copy-able, its gotta happen... or else Linux will be even more popular. |

Good point, lets hope there not as slow as telescum :dogeye: The thing is you can get most of the vista stuff for free with a linux system, even cool effects like 3d rotating desktops, totally useless but cool stuff nevertheless |

| 482046 | 2006-09-02 10:43:00 | But like Windows, Linux still has flaws and rather annoying bugs. (ie They dont seem to like installing to laptops. Or is it the Wifi card... Hmmm) | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 482047 | 2006-09-02 12:51:00 | it will be interesting to see if there is such a huge price difference in the OEM versions - Will a new Dell that comes with vista preinstalled be $200 more expensive than the same computer with XP preinstalled? | Greven (91) | ||
