Vista next week?

Ive heard that the business edition and office 2007 is being released on november 30th
 
Is anyone intending on adopting any of the 3 this early?
When Dell starts shipping it that will be a sign, unless they are 'financially encouraged' to go with it early, imo. Thoughts?
 
i was under the impression it was the 30th but to be honest i couldnt care less...

mac osx all the way for me im afraid :p :p lol
 
XP this week, next week and a loada more weeks after that for me, dont see much point upgrading just yet:

1. vista too expensive
2. Xp does what i want (for now anway)
3. carp licensing (1 install per pc etc)
4. dont need dx10 just yet (how many games actually support it now)

Tis correct. RTM is November 8th though - RTM isn't the same as general availability, but we might see some 180 days trials not long after. Here's hoping.

Your other points are valid but they clarified the 1 Install per pc thing a week back. They'll allow 10 transfers which include the changing of either the hard drive or motherboard.

Changing the CPU/GFX/Ram wont trigger activation. So its not that bad considering not many people upgrade HDD's as often as other components.
 
Your right, its easier for the non-believers to overlook this and many other things that have been cleared up... Theres just no telling them though :o
 
But to be a believer you have to realise, and pay for, an OS that since its inception (Longhorn) has had everything that made it vaguely worth the price ripped out of it.

I have said on many posts in these forums that im dissapointed that its not what longhorn was, but i feel a lot of people here on OCUK hate vista for the sake of it.

Most probably havent used it for more than 10 minutes cause of the irritaing UAC which is easily turned off. Me i am using it all the time now except for games, they do work but with me having a GX2 it is a bit of a waste and its best to boot back to xp. But this is purely down to nvidia driver support , nothing to do with microsoft. Same with the creative sound problems. a lot of people see it looks similar to XP but underneath it completely different.
 
do they offer per user licence or is it per device licence.

i would prefer per user licence since i have 5 machines here and im the only one who uses them. per machine licence = rip off.
 
I'm also assuming, although I have no information to back this up, that Microsoft is also going to incorporate some kind of timer into the equation

Yeah great article, anything to create mass panic as usual..... :rolleyes:

points deducted for every install

where does it state that? the word deducted isnt even on that page.
A reinstall costs nothing, Unless hardware has changed... OMG did you even read it?

Also the motherbard change thing is absolute BS. No mb come with scsi, and the display adapter/audio etc can be turned off in the bios so arent even picked up.
