    Vista looks nice. Waaay better than XP in all fronts.

    Problema nga lang....takaw sobra sa hardware resources.

    Nevertheless, I'm still eyeing on getting Vista Ultimate for my new computers coming in 2008.

    I'd have to save 20k pesos for each nga lang . I just hope it's worth it

    Official Microsoft releases ng Windows Vista ay Beta 1, Beta 2, RC1 at RC2...

    Ingat kayo sa mga Win XP converted to Vista look baka may virus at spyware yung mga installer ng skins nyan....

    i
    baka 32bit at 64 bit ang ibig nyong sabihin sir IIE.

    ok sana vista lalo na yung editions na may aero interface. nakahabol na sa osx ang windows - at least pagdating sa itsura. nakakalungkot nga lang isipin na kelangan pa magbayad ng extra para sa aero. buti na lang hindi naniningil ng extra ang osx para sa expose'.

    been using vista rc1 and xp sp2. resource hog ang vista compared to sp2. after booting, di lumalampas sa 50% ng RAM ang kinakain ng sp2 samantalang 60% agad sa vista. to think na mas marami akong installed na standby apps sa xp samantalang sa vista yung sidebar at avg free lang tumatakbo. 1gig of RAM sa vista feels like 512mb in xp.

    reason for the smaller memory requirements ng XP e dahil based ang code nya sa Windows 2000 which is a client OS...

    Windows Vista was based on Windows Server 2003... kaya malaki ang memory requirements kasi its as if your running server code....

    Pero sumatutal... bloatware pa rin sya... why cant Microsoft trim down their OSes... e sa laki ng market share nila they can stop supporting legacy apps when they want to....

    Vista's MovieMaker seems much more robust than MovieMaker 1 and 2 for XP. It is limited in the file formats that can be imported. WMV seems to be the only compressed file format output that's supported. That may change, though. If you're just working with footage from your camcorder, you'll be fine. Considering how clunky editing with wmv files was in XP using any video-editing app, it's improved quite a bit in Vista.

    Windows DVD Maker seems robust as well. You don't get that feeling that it'll crash any moment like I've experienced with earlier versions of Pinnacle Studio or the first release of iMovie 3.

    There's also useful utilities like the Snipping Tool and Windows Media Center.

    Wiindows Sidebar's number of available gadgets have improved. It'd be nice though if it can be resized. Plus, I still haven't figured out how to add program shortcuts to it....

    Vista just needs 512 MB but for those using onboard graphics (instead of seperate sound cards), then 1 GB is needed (lalo na sa mga Intel GMA 950 users).

    On other news, alam ko that Intel was supposed to release their GMA X3000 video solution later this year. Now that alone appears to have more potential as it fixes the numerous flaws that GMA 950 had.

    So in order to get the best video from Vista, it's either you use Intel GMA X3000 or an ATI or Nvidia video card (with DX10)

    yung X3000 will come out with the Centrino Pro platform codenamed "Santa Rosa" that will pair a Core 2 Duo Socket T to a 965 chipset with X3000 integrated and a Draft N Wireless.. Intel dropped 3G/HSPDA kaya sayang... the platform is not worth it...

    For desktops, hi-end 965 ang may X3000 and they are available now.

    I wonder how good the X3000 will be compared to ATI and nVidia chipsets? It'll be awesome if Intel can at least approach the performance of the middle-tier chipsets of both companies.
