I didn't volunteer for the Longhorn testing after what happened to me on the XP beta test.

I may try the RC1 of Vista though - according to their Vista compatibility test program, I have one PC it should work on - It currently has Windows XP-Media and on a 64 bit processor that is a huge waste. And I have it 100% backed up.

Bah - Windows crap, Macintosh crap, Linux crap. I'll never get rid of CP/M.

I will probably upgrade to Vista as soon as lots of people try it and service pack 1 inevitably comes out. However when my PC finally gets too long in the tooth, I'm inclined to try a Mac, as long as people don't assume that I've turned gay or Democrat.

It's really funny that the guy's link to the "visual tour of Vista" at the bottom of the story doesn't work!!!

And what will this do that XP won't do? I think I'll pass.

Ah geez, I just built a new computer and bought a full retail version of XP Pro for it.

When is Vista supposed to officially be released? And how long before it actually works? And how much more is it going to cost me?
