I use vista business and vista prem and found it to run well as long as you have 2GB memory and at least a dual core processor, and upgrade to sp1 so far it has ran well. When Vista came out vendors and people were putting the OS on a p4 system with 512MB of memory and legacy hardware that should have been upgraded a year before. The only few times i downgraded was due to what hardware was running on the desktop/workstation.

IF DM didn't cost as much as my crappy Gas Guzzler car, I would be like a fat kid in a candy store.

 The Dual Quads are a bit to much but its always good to look ahead. By the time those quads would be put to use, I should be able to afford the DM.

cost assuming now roughly 18,000, 6 months 9,000, 1 year 3000, 2 year 500 bucks and thats when ill have the prize DM

I like the concept alot. The fact that there there wouldn't be a problem with accidental leakage and no pumps to go out and less power consumption. I think its an awesome idea. I would like to see it tested. I am curious to see how it would fit in certain cases though and if the electromagnetic pumps would interfere with the electronics. I think they are on the right track

So far from what i have seen in real world situations with Vista is the hardware that its running on and the end user not wanting to learn the new system durring business hours. not to meantion the unavailablity of particular drivers and legacy 3rd party programs that companies depend on. What microsoft should have done is not assume and stuck with what works. just like windows 98SE, they decided the world needed a cheezy upgrade and pushed out windows ME. Sooo, they cycle starts again, we are pushed vista and then Windows 7 or whatever they finally call it will be the best thing ever after the 2 service pack. then the game will start again 10 years later. thats my take on it..
