the deal where it pops up security warnings every time you run a program and all that crap can be disabled. At least it could in Vista Beta II. I was running Beta II on a P4 3.06 GHz with 2 Gigs of ram and it ran just fine at default settings. That pc is now 4 years old. From what I could tell, most features could be turned on or off without too much trouble...but if you turn it all off then all you are left with is Win XP anyways.
What do you think about 2007 in the computing industry?

People always say that because the beta 2 they downloaded was slow, or because its prettier it has to be more bloated. Its going to be just like the first w2k days, the slowness is due to drivers. Once people are used to the new design it will be just as quick if not quicker than the previous version.

While Power consumption for GPU has increased. However for the Conroe it has gone down and will stay there for the foreseeable future.
The only reason for me to get Vista. Will be when DX10 games become mainstream.
Why I will go to Vista:
Memory heap management
Network stack rebuild
DX10
Drivers at User level (not kernel)
