Preliminary features:
Aero Glass, the higher-end user experience, will be a true superset of Aero
and will come with higher hardware requirements. "Aero Glass will provide
a beautiful [UI] experience with transition animations. Window frames will
be a bit blurry and translucent, making text easier to read. Transparencies and
animations will be hallmarks of the Aero Glass user experience, with more
modern, high-quality visualizations than with [standard] Aero." Aero Glass
will require a DirectX 9-compliant 3-D graphics processor with at least 64MB
of RAM, although Microsoft will recommend 128MB to 256MB of RAM.

Wow....we've waited years all these years for a new OS only to get a new
desktop theme? Can't wait! What's actually still going to be in
Longhorn/Vista that warrants a new OS? I know they will be backporting some
of the key items right into XP and some of the big improvements they've been
promising have just been thrown on the back-burner, so what reasons are
there for people to actually want to upgrade?

You cannot upgrade until its released next year.
I'm sure the final version will be exciting with
a host of new features.

Like all of the exciting features offered in XP over Win2k? It about to be
released for beta testing which means it's pretty much in it's final form
right now, yet there's been no talk of anything exciting in it. I was being
serious when I asked if there was going to be any compelling reason for
people to upgrade. As near as I can tell there is none.

Don't expect anything new in the Vista OS.
Marketers will attempt to make you think there is something beneficial, or
value added, but nothing worth moving from XP.

Don't expect anything new in the Vista OS.
Marketers will attempt to make you think there is something beneficial, or
value added, but nothing worth moving from XP.

Hopefully the nonsense can be turned off. Better yet, we won't buy it in

Incorrect. Windows Vista (formerly known as Windows codename "Longhorn") is in a very preliminary
stage and is set to enter beta on 3rd August. These is a long way to go and many new features would
be added to Windows Vista. The expected RTM date of Windows Vista is late 2006 or even 2007.

Well, I believe you are incorrect and you don't know anything about software
development. If MS continues to add features now it just goes to show at
how incompetent they really are. When a product enters the beta stage that
means it is more or less complete and it is typically issued to a target
audience to find any remaining bugs. If they continue to add features now
they are adding unknowns with potential bugs to what the developers consider
a final/stable product.

Obviously not *all* mvp's as I don't know all of them. It was more of a
general "all" but I guess targeted at the fanatical mvps in this group. But
you missed the whole point of the reply....I just want to know what Vista is
going to offer besides a cpu busting GUI and the introduction to draconian
DRM (digital rights management).

We shall all have to wait and see what all is included.
As I understand it when a product enters Beta most is set, but there is
still a lot of time and room for a change.
For the most part there may be no reason for most to upgrade unless there is
something specific needed in Vista.
Many will just because it is new.
Others will get Vista simply because it is time for a new computer and Vista
will be included.
No one will be forced to upgrade and those that do upgrade will do it
because they will choose to.
Ignore all propaganda both for and against Vista, make your decisions on
your needs.

Frankly, I would prefer more simplicity over "clarity" (whatever *that*
means!) but I guess "Windows Simplista" sounds too much like an artifical
sweetener.
I predict mild initial excitement and then groans when we see that it's
really just a new gloss (with new hardware requirements) on an otherwise
overly complex, unintuitive old OS (WinXP).

I agree. Everytime I load Win XP and read all the great things
it says it does on the screen during setup...how great the new security
features are (yeah, right!), etc., I have the feeling that "thou doth toot
thy horn too mucheth". Then I spend a lot of time disabling this
feature, and that one, getting rid of the dog, ad naseum... If Vista
is proportionately larger than XP, as XP was to 98...whooeeee mon
gotta have one of them new 850 GB hard drives.

It will require rather significant hardware power, including 3-D graphics
cards....nothing less.

Hey Pal
If you're such a naysayer, don't buy it. Simple.. right? Why belly-ache
and whine like a baby when you have no intentions of learning what the
new system will include? Hey... there's Linux. Go download a copy of
Linux and stop your whining. I've a feeling, though, that whining is
your specialty. Right?

As I intimated, the UI will be very, very fancy with 3-D structure,
apparently. I guess that creates a Vista.

Oh contrare my friend. I have indeed experienced the "eXPerience"
and have found that all the hype about being so secure, et al, actually
came down to a system that required about a thousand patches and
fixes to get where we are today...and where are we...waiting for
another OS that's going to be more secure? We'll see.
In my humble opinion, which you seem to think I should not express...
while you blast away like yours is the only one worth venting, I think
the creators could have and should have done a better job of building
the product. Now you tell me not to buy it, after I've already spent
my hard earned money...lots of help you are ol' pal. I hope BG
doesn't stop too fast with you in that position or you'll suffocate.
