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.) |

QUOTE(fallingstar @ Jan 26 2007, 1:46 AM) Ahh, I meant computers with Vista on them. I know. But you said that it's navigation is similar to that of Mac's, so I implied that you meant that it had a dock on the desktop.. But I don't think that it's anything like Mac. Mac is wayyy better than anything Windows will ever release. Hmm, it has a sidebar. Which is pretty much like a dock for widgets. Kinda useless, IMO. But it does have some interesting features like Speech Recognition and the new Sleep mode.. And the Windows SideShow thing seems cool, but you'd need a new laptop with the secondary display...
