Hmm beta rls in august... add avg of 6 months for beta to become final and it will be a good time to upgrade hardware and all.

Gimme WM5 tho.... PPC20O3se kinda sucks imo...

I wonder how much money they paid for the name and who thought it up....if there is anything not clear and very cluttered in this world it's a Windows operating system....just hope our PPC's get an update when they said it would.

well, it is better the Windows GT or WindowsGTi

In any case, when you ask someone what they have it will be Windows

Looks like anyone will be able to beta test it according to the notice on the right side of the page. Supposed to be out by August 3rd.

I read about this this morning at slashdot. Seems pretty cool....

J-Man5

It's named Vista because you have to climb a mountain to install it!!! And then you worry about how hard you'll hit the bottom when it crashes!!

I'm sure you'll see tons of screen shots online. Just search google or something.

And then who ever they paid to come up with the name just copied the name from Alta Vista

joedoe101

Maybe they are going to buy alta vista and use it to replace the msn search

Yep. 64-bit only and will require 3D accelerators. Supposedly there will be several levels of acceleration available depending on your video card. Most computers ship with Intel eXtreme graphics or some sort of integrated solution with very poor and basic acceleration, that will do for the low end version. The 64-bit will really hurt the people who have been buying P4's over the past couple years and will need basically a new system to upgrade. Those of us with AMD 64's or the newer Pentiums will be just fine though :)

And what is with the lame touchy-feely names? Where are the good ol' year names, like Windows 2006, or better yet, versions, like Windows 8.0

I'll probably get it right when it comes out, simply because I can get it from my university's library for $20:approve: Not likely I'll install it right away until there are enough drivers out for it and it works flawlessly with my plethora of games. (Only reason I'm not using Win XP x64-no darn drivers).

Don't like the name but I will not pass judgement until I read some reviews.
