Good, detailed analysis of why you should hold off on buying this piece of bloatware. Read the entire article for specifics.

If no one buys it then it doesn't stand much of a chance to get driver support. Look, XP64 was the same way. I got it when if first came out and to this day I still don't have 100% driver support for all of my hardware. Besides, no operating system is ever complete, thats why you have updates. I admit, an OS will get abandon in enough time. Just like how 95,98,ME etc are no longer supported.
Go ahead, buy it. Just don't expect it to work the way you want right away. I would advise installing it alongside you current OS, and start bugging the manufactures of all the unsupported hardware you have for drivers.
Thats how an OS becomes viable. You buy it, you bug them, and updates arrive. =P

We went to Best Buy to buy a new computer yesterday. They wouldn't sell us a computer. They said they won't sell computers until Vista comes out on Tuesday.
I could care less about Vista.

i would wait at least a yr. to get all the bugs worked out.
from what i've read, most computers don't have the speed to run it properly.

On the new computers, Vista takes almost a full hour just to load the operating system and set it up.
It's a joke.
