Some computers have Vista already built-in (like Dell), but you can't install it until the Vista release date..
You can find the express upgrade here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getr...essupgrade.mspx

I think its free... either that, or my parents already paid for it lol. It should be here in about two weeks.  If its an Express Upgrade, I wonder if I'll lose everything I have on my computer, or if it'll just upgrade itself and leave all my files and info? |

QUOTE(fallingstar @ Jan 25 2007, 2:10 AM) The navigation seems to be very similar to Mac, from what I've seen so far. I think the safest way to buying this system, is just to get a totally new Vista computer from HP/Dell/Sony. If you don't need a new computer, why would you need a new system, anyways? (( I know, I know..Intrest & upgrades. Well, aren't we all anxious to get into the future?  ))Vista has a dock?! I've never heard that before.. But they do have prettier themes and nicer icons.. I'd rather get OS X Leopard when it comes out.. But I don't have a Mac to install it on.  Well, I'm getting Vista in the mail soon. I don't think I'm gonna install it. Not for a while at least. I'll make my brother install it on his laptop first and see what happens.

If you upgrade it, your user settings and old files are kept. (See here.) |
