Vista out already?

[Phnom_Penh]

Vista Enterprise Edition was on Microsoft Select earlier, shame it wasn't on MSDN though . Anyway, MS has said that Vista will be out for Corporate users on 30th November, along with Office 2007, and Home users will get the software on the 30th January.

2007 the year microsoft takes over the noobs!

Vista is not going to be worth it... Its just a super XP thingy.

Plus its SYSTEM HUNGRY! I need my system for preformance not to be wasted on my OS.

I think Vista has some awesome features. Before people go shouting how bad it is they need to read about it and watch it in action. The window scrolling thing is uber cool

Yep, I love the scrolling windows, and tbh, I found it faster than XP.

Looks like they have introduced a method of activation into VLK copies too

Volume licensing was one of the first areas they targeted for Vista.

But wouldn't a volume license let us get Vista for less if we all chipped in our share?

Because Acer Global opens the Acer Europe page in a new window, and I was comparing the files in the FTP to the ones on the downloads page, one on each monitor .
