What I want to know is when it comes out will it be on back order when it comes for instance, when the stores start selling it (and people go wild) trying to get it will they sell out like that (snaping fingers quickly). Or how about where to get, it, will it be only online for the first few weeks and then come out to stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. I just don't want it to do a Sony PS3 or NintendoWii thing.
So post your views of what gonna happend.

Also although Microsoft claim 512MB of ram and a P3 (800?Mhz) processor will work fine, I am sure they are talking about Home Basic edition as with a overclocked 3.0 and 1 gig ram it is proving to be a resource hog with all the Vista Ultimate features turned on.
Having said that I do find it is a worthwhile upgrade and am waiting to be able to get a version running that wont expire in July

you can get anything for free, you just have to know how to get it...

/rolleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' /> /ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />[/quote]Yeah, just like that 07 Mercedes you've been looking at, it's free if you know how to get it.
I don't know of any way to get it free legally, but I do know some ways to get it cheaper. Depends on your situation. BTW, mine was purchased directly from Microsoft. Not one of those shady sites that sell back-up software. Completely legit.

Apparently easy to dual boot vista and linux if you install vista first, or set linux partitions to inactive. See www.apcmag.com/dualboot for more info
