Any one heard about the new windows , after XP, Called window Vista ? what do u know about it? I am dieing to buy me a new laptop, cuz the old one is killing me with no enough storage space, speed and look ( Acer Aspire 1350 ) , but they told me a new windows operating system is coming up within few month. I just want to know is it worth waiting for it, so I buy a laptop that supports this type of operating system. What do u think ?

Check out the links below for more information. I'm not sure when it'll hit the market here but every new O/s has it's weak points and you may have to go through the good / bad time being the early ones to check it out.

Windows vista is only 4 years late now.

Check you my signature... it says it all.

Vista is coming in 6 flavours i.e. vanilla with different amounts of sugar. Corporate's addition will be released before christams, users will be able to get hold of it in January. You can buy yours as soon as its out.

Ir requires a minium of 512MB memory (1GB is better especially if you will be using Office 2007.
15GB of hard disk space
and minimum of 64MB graphics card.
