F that. im OS X all the way.. do you KNOW how much useless stuff will be in vista... just like XP.. i mean have you SEEN some of the hidden files in XP? they have like the equivilant of "deleted scenes and directors comentary"... (i use mainly macs if you havent already guessed).. and the fact that they totally overhual the whole way the UI works... but still have the option of running it like XP increases the time to produce and physical space it takes up on a a drive.....but oh well... all new windows programs will be designed for vista.... sigh... so why not get it.. *grumble*

Sadly, the reason I use Windows (games) will require me to upgrade to Vista for DX10. Most of the time I boot into FreeBSD.

I like PC games that came out in the last 7 years, so I'm tied to Windows for the time being.
