I just installed VISTA Ultimate on my computer.
My computer is a very simple i945G chipset based mobo with Pentium D 805 @ 3.66Ghz and 2 GB of RAM. Vista runs fairly smooth, and surprisingly Aero Glass is enabled on the integrated graphics card. I must say that VISTA really does feel like XP with a thick layer of makeup on. However, I can feel the difference in the new TCP/IP stack. All my torrents are going much faster and also my network copies are going more smoother. Flip3D is super lame compared to Expose' but still better than nothing. Instant search is a godsend!! Using spotlight on the mac really made me miss it on the PC side. Overall I really do think that VISTA is too much of a hog for what it is, I think OSX is "better" but that's more subjective. But as far as MS is concerned, they have done a decent job of a new release. All my drivers and such work fine and I have faced no problems, so far, but then again, I really haven't stressed the system too much as such. Regards,
