How many of us are going to be taking out a second mortgage to afford this garbage might be a better question.

Totally useless upgrade for me. As a graphic artist Microsoft (again) failed to meet any needs for font management. And all the 3rd party tools are Mac bases with rare-to-none updates for Windows.
Vista will be an OS I will have to downgrade to XP on future machines until someone fixes this issue.

While I do like Mac's looks... the PC has always done everything I've wanted. Yes there's that parallels thing now, and boot camp... but eh, I'm sticking with my custom PC and upgrading to Vista Ultimate when it launches.

ecent people experiencing the lastest Beta version report that it is running extremely slowly..
Q: will this massive issue be addressed in the final version to be released to consumers?

What does "Business customers" mean? If I own a business, then can I buy Vista in November?
