Go for Vista when it comes because vista is simple to use and similar to xp.

It depends on the individual ...:rolleyes:And windows vista and Linux are totally two diff options..:neutral:IF u had asked me shud i remain using xp or shud i switch to vista when it releases i would have said u switch to vista as from the past experience you would have seen and used win98 and switched to winxp;) just for heck of its development and to be upgraded yourself :D

I have downloaded Vista RC1 and wanna try it. I have 6600LE Gfx card, and 1GB RAM, AMD athlon 2800+,80GB HDD...So no h/w probs. How much min. space required for Vista..I wanna install it without disturbing XP. Will 4GB enough (Just to check out the new OS).

It requires at least 8gb free space, but i recomment at least 10Gb for drivers nd swap files nd all.
If u gonna install the x64 version then it will take upto 10~12Gb nd xtra for swap files!!!!

Vista RC1 is still under development and is not fullfledged version..And it too requires activation and well u need the serial for installation and making a vista rc1 copy would be nice as i think because every1 cannot afford the full version
