Adeptii, no one is saying that you should spend all that cash on Ultimate. There are other versions that are perfectly fine and don't burn holes in your pockets

It was even faster than XP was. sure, It would get a little sluggish at times when running things like Photoshop, What would you expect on a 7 year old machine? Vista does not require a "super computer" to run.
I agree. You can't expect an old machine to run an OS as smoothly as a new one. If you have to, switch off glass and the other eye candy. Its not like its of any use other than making you drool the first time around

That is what errs me. No one seems to remember how your apps didn't work perfectly with xp at first. How the old games didn't work despite the inclusion of a compatibility wizard. It seemed that the compatibility wizard never worked at all. Later however, this was fixed
Its sad how people bitch about an OS just because everyone else is. I'm sure that most people hadn't seen the RTM and were still bashing it due to public BETA 2 or for that matter, everyone else bashing it or even due to the fact that their old pcs wouldn't run vista at all.
If you really want to run vista on your ancient box, switch off all the eye candy but you probably won't have to since windows checks if it can carry the load before switching it on in the first place.

I might be wrong but I was always of the view that the OS is made by a certain someone. You make your apps/hardware (with drivers)
for that OS and in doing so, need to make sure that your app/hardware works fine. If your app/driver works fine with the OS one day and the next day it breaks due to a patch on the OS, sure, go ahead and bitch about it to the OS creators.
But if its a new OS all together, like vista is here,
you are the one who is responsible for making your app work on their OS since its not the OS that is running on your app, its
your app running on the OS
Conversely, if you are the one making a processor/motherboard, the people who make the OS will make sure that they support your architecture..
As I said, I might be wrong with this whole thing of course
