Windows Vista: worth the money?
Mnementh:
The problem with Vista is the system is pretty much on lockdown in terms of what users can do, and, word is that it's incomplete. A lot of businesses are sticking with XP (it's out for businesses now).
I'm going to stick with XP on the laptop, and dual boot XP/OS X on the iMac.
Spike:
I just figure I'll keep using xp until it is impossible to play any new games.
öde:
I'm going to stick with Ubuntu until there's some reason to get my free copy of Vista.

That's not going to be a huge problem right away because direct x9 isn't going to magically disappear after direct x 10 comes out, but eventually support for it is going to disappear.
When the first of the Direct x 10 cards come out they are going to be expensive, so if you want to get a hold of a decent card that won't cost you 200-250 dollars you're going to have to wait for the new generation to drive down the prices on the old generation.

Not really. ATM I have an ATI X1900 XT (which is DX 9) but I'll be able to run Crysis with most stuff on highest, except for a shader setting here or there
And Nvidia does have one already I think (8800 GTS?), ATI does not.

Heh, 2000 was probably the best OS MS ever produced. <-- I said this, I must have accidentally modified this post instead of quoting it. Will, you'll have to post again, sorry. - Dan
