    I think the GUI on vista/longhorn will be alot more pleasing.

    I dont see much point in rushing out to get vista when it appears, not least because of the bugs and the price, but because do you really need it?
    And yes it does look nice (similar to a mac i hear..) but i dont think theres anything essential in it you would need.
    I have also heard you can boost computer performance with it by using a pen drive. Is this true? It could be useful

    if you grab styleXP or Windowsblinds, there are some themes that look alot like Vista, without the high tech stuff...

    ^but they can slow down your pc. Anyways Sp3 will be released before vista is released to make improvements to xp so there will be no need to switch. There are rumours xp may even get an upgrade so as to use the aero glass stuff.

    yeah, it does slow it down, but if you have at least 512mb of RAM, it won't slow it down..

    I wouldn't really worry about this right now. With Vista still decently far from release, you'll have plenty of time to get some cash together and upgrade. Also I wouldn't recommend upgrading to a brand new OS right after release. Wait for a bit until the bugs and weaknesses are taken care of, it's a smarter idea.

    Vista is gonna be a reasource hog and it is trying to take advantage of all the latest hardware since hardware comes out a lot soon before software even uses it, like when 64 bit processors came out so program even used that but Windows came out with a 64 bit edition which I could use but they don't have a 64 bit Media Center so I'm not going to.

    I'd stick with Xp until I get a new computer that comes with vista.
