            smart people usually wait 12+ months before upgrading an operating system

              Those people usually buy the operating system. We're talking about having something free here.

                But he didn't... so why make him feel bad about his decision?

                Hope you're happy with the new OP

                    i got Xp 2 weeks before it was launched due to buying a new PC with it preinstalled (last PC i will EVER buy pre-built) and it was great, almost every proggy worked for it, drivers gallore, all my previous and current games worked flawlessly on it, PC came with 128M ram and i upgraded to 256M for 130 bucks wow what a difference back then LOL, but that is mostly because it was based on windows NT and 2000, which had been out for awhile by then, so having conflicts wasnt so much of an issue, but vista is ground up not really based on any current windows so the driver issue/conflicts are going to be much more apparent, even with the last beta after a week i had to uninstall out of frustration, bf2 lagged like hell gah, mostly due to AtI's vista beta drivers tho. so advise would be wait for at least SP1 so at least it will be more backwards compatable. myself i am waiting for the big lineup of DX10 cards to come out, then maybe it will be worth it.

                      I'm waiting a few weeks at LEAST to hear some feedback on Vista and if it's even worth (yeah yeah besides the cool looking Aero addition) the upgrade.

                        It does work (I've been playing BF2 on Vista Ultimate 32 bit for 3 months no problem)

                          Just a little heads up. If you get a Vista upgrade, you're XP CD key will be finished...

                            No they don't, because they're on *nix and don't need to buy anything

                            New nvidia drivers? Isn't it funny that my vista partition went down the crapper today?

                              It works to some degree with the retail ultimate Vista x32. I had a hard time loading the program using the deluxe CDs, so I had to load battlefield 2. then special forces separately.

                              Once installled and upadted with 1.41, it always kicks me off servers with "inadequate O/S privliges" from PunkBuster.

                              Single player works fine though. I assume this is some sort of setting within the new Vista. I turned what i could (and know about) off, and still get the problem.

                              Worked fine in XP
