Windows Vista

Ok I'm sure enough of you have heard all about it but have you used it?
Right now I'm running it on my 3000+ amd 64 with 1024mb of ddr400 and it's nice and slow. This reminds me of XP's initial release. The hardware we were running the os on was a little behind in terms of speed when talking about the middle range.
One thing is very sure, users are going to have to get comfortable with the idea of purchasing a new pc when they want Vista. Right now my PC is idling with 400mb of ram used. I'm not even doing anything other than staring at the desktop.
I'm feeling sleepy now but I'll take some desktop shots later this week and show you guys what it looks like. Pretty interesting if you ask me.

Many computers will become OBSOLETE, very quick. Especially since 64 bit Celerons are in the roadmap & coming soon. Even the cheap people that buy Celerons will get 64 bit. That is all the cheap people will want and the Celeron will give it. So many people will make an excuse to buy a new dirt cheap computers (64 bit Semprons are coming soon, too).
