Yes, currently enjoying Vista. It's a good experience. But costs both software and hardware to implement.
Do you have a legitimate copy? I mean, you are telling all of us to buy them. You should be using one too. :rolleyes:

if I had to buy windows!!!!

If I had to buy windows, I don't think I could spend more than Rs.15,000 to 20,000...
But still, Vista Ultimate is about
Rs.40,000...

Talking the truth, if the laws get strict on s/w piracy n we couldn't use pirate versions, I'll go open source (linux, open office, etc...)

But the Home Premium edition is more than enough for us :)

Oook! Now it has been some time since I originally posted this thread... I was in VIsta... Yeah it's cool! I also was in open-source... at first it was so cool! but then I felt tht it sucks... Now I'm back in XP... Many reasons...

1.) Vista isn't compatible with most of the s/w (even new versions of some s/w)
2.) Vista adds too much control over the user
3.) XP is simple + it works
4.) XP is much more customizable
5.) XP takes less space in ma HDD

So... I thought I'll stay back with XP Pro + June 2007 patch...

    Little change? Hmmm...how about growing your hair? :P

    When you can disable UAC and still use XP, you decided to install XP? :lol:
    You know, if I were you, I will sell 1GB of RAMs when the prices go up :rofl:
    XP will not be using that RAM anyways ....
