After it's been customer beta tested for a couple years I'll look at it. I won't pay to test more microshaft stuff.

So far, the base requirement is 1GB of RAM for the OS.

Suggestions for the optimal amount of memory runs around 4GB.  Microsoft fully expects systems to have have around 8GB of RAM in the next couple or years and they intend on using it.

I figure it will be ready for prime time in around 2008.  Of course there will be early adopters and are they in for some surprises.  DRM (Digital Rights Management) takes on new levels of control in the OS.

XP works well enough, I can't see any reason why I would be compelled to update.

I said the same thing about 95 and 98SE until I started seeing updates suspended. Unfortunately they also changed xp enough that some of my older games from 95 time frame won't run anymore  :mad:

"Microsoft has previously said that Vista will make malicious software that gets onto computers without the users' knowledge "a thing of the past".

Yep. Right up and untill someone figures out a way in.

Well at least they waited a few years before introducing a new OS
Still as usual I'll be waiting untill I just about absolutely HAVE to upgrade before I do.

Because the republicans allow microsoft to be a monopoly, there is no competition, so XP will slowly be made useless and you will have to upgrade.

If MS were a phone company they would have been broken up a long time ago

EDIT:  Nice troll btw.  :aok

ahh yes it is the Republicans that make you install an MS OS.  I bet they held a gun to your head to make you do it too????

It's not like you have freedom of choice to install something else its those big bad evil republicans.  How dare Microsoft and Bill Gates for being such viscious ruthless software Giants.  

Some liberal senator should just make them pay other companys not to make software at all, then it would be all fair

XP is the best OS ever developed for the mass market, as was Windows 3.1, Windows 95, 98 and 2000.  The factor that you nerds are discounting is the usability.  Maybe it is just because yu don't remember the bad old days, or maybe it is just because you have so little to compare it to, but don't blame MS for being succesful; blame your own lazy bellybutton for not doing better.

MS products sell, to the masses.  Let's make a law forcing people to  buy Macs, since the masses seem to be idiots and don't know just how much better the Mac was.

Do you know what a monopoly is?  Do you know that there Is competition for MS, but they just don't do as well.

If MS were "a" phone company..did you mean if MS  were "The" Phone company?  Bell was broken because it was the only option.  Again, MS isn't the only option.

Soundbites are cute, but not really very clever.
