You better have a brand new computer or it won't run.

Yup. I believe this is true. It has to be Vista upgradable correct? I was just reading on Drudge how this is essentially the last BIG product before MS switches to Live products on the web. They are essentially going to online. So this Vista must be the platform for their future online products and services as well.

Competition is alive and well in America :-). They just couldn't stand working so hard and getting left in the dust and neither could their stock holders.

"You better have a brand new computer or it won't run."

Now where did you get that idea from?
If you want to know if your XP PC can run Vista, go right here:

I've been running an evaluation version of Vista for about three weeks now. I have an Athlon 64 and it runs very nicely. My video sez that I could have a better Vcard.

The presentations are beautiful and the file management is easier to read and work with. Everything zips along like a fast XP.

My hard drive is quieter. XP was a little slower; But I must admit I like the Vista OS.

You'll have to upgrade some or all of your other software, too. Best wait and buy a whole new system after we get through the infant mortality phase.
