Newer video card id you want to run AERO style. I have a ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 and it works great. Vista installed drivers for Xpress 300 and they are working great. Clean install took only 25 minutes. Install questions were minimal Steve

how you get free, mang? (not that it would run very good on my old-ass computer...)
is it the official release? not a beta or something? i'm waiting to get a new computer with Vista pre-loaded on it. i don't want to see what happens when you try to upgrade from XP, based on the horror stories i've read back when people upgraded to XP from some older Windows variant.

There was an article in the Atlanta paper a few weeks ago that hinted what some have mentioned here: Apple's Mac OS X was doing years ago pretty much everything Windows Vista is supposed to do, someday. One of their recommendations to folks considering the jump to Vista:
Get a Mac. dcb |

Macs are snazzy, but I have yet to find the screws on that 24 inch all-in-one monitor that lets me get inside to change the video card or add more RAM.

Seems I recall reading a procedure for getting into a Mac mini case that involved a putty knife and large hammer...
I don't think software availability is an issue for the overwhelming majority of users, unless by software you mean, games. Cost, yeah, Macs run a premium, but I've read comparisons for "comparably equipped" machines that put Macs right in the ballpark. (Technically speaking, I don't know enough about computers to make much sense of these, or care.) Then there's Apple's rep for quality goods and first rate tech support. Whatever. As they say, the operator has lots more to do with the quality of work done on a computer than the OS. The point of the call-out from the article I cited was, Vista breaks no new ground. dcb |

And of course Apple tech support is great, they charge a buttload for that too! http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...More=M9318LL/B My friend's powerbook G4 just had the hard drive go. To change it I needed to disassemble the entire computer, remove the keyboard, unplug all of the internal connectors, and seperate the entire case. On my hp notebook I needed to remove 3 screws...
