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....

That's because MS isn't Apple who often forces people to upgrade both hardware (in the form of a new Mac) and software or else risk being left behind. MS will eventually head that way too. But as one who still uses fairly old software, I appreciate the compatibility with legacy opps.

Once hardware is so fast that even emulators run legacy apps at full speed, then MS can do as Apple do.

I wasn't too happy either when OSX first came out in 2001. XP when it came out and Vista now is loads better than OSX was at first retail release.

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....
