Windows Vista: worth the money?
Alegis:
Yep. Running all games, only had problems with Gothic 3, because that game is just full with graphic glitches and I doubt Vista is to blame.
Firefox and itunes work. Only things that won't work now are zonealarm (refuses to install) - which is most likely temporary, but comodo seems to work - and importing libraries in java compilers (although I got it working with Eclipse)
Crysis (the game) most likely, as it is Vista only, but it's not released yet.
Remember, you can install it for 30 days without any key. In case you would want to try it out, by obtaining an RTM dvd somehow.

After reading through that article, I refuse to touch Vista. I understand that they want to protect content and all, but when it starts costing me in system performance and stability I can't allow that.

Considering I haven't had any issues whilst testing X64 RTM, I think I'll be fine. Although I'm yet to test nforce RAID, which has the potential to get interesting.

Yeah, the gentleman who route that works in the medical imaging field, so his perspective is a good one to get. After having worked for a software company, I can understand the desire to protect content, but that just bypasses all reason, goes through the realm of unreasonable, and into potentially life threatening.
That article called windows vista "the longest suicide note in history" and I believe it. MS really endangered itself, especially among its Enterprise user base.
Sort of related but not quite article that I find interesting, you all might too.
GileX:
Im sure it will be fine for your average user, but for your expert who likes to get their hands dirty then its absolutely useless, most games "should" run on it, i could run a few games, framerate was a little slower then expected but M$ will fix that or else. DRM just annoys me, especially HDCP, if anyone here has a good article, would you please link it, its important everyone knows.
