This is Ubuntu(linux) with the Beryl package installed on it, I've seen people running it on a pentium 2 with 256mb ram and 64mb vga... I have it installed on my toshiba m60 laptop (17", 128mb nvidia 6600, 1.86 centrino) It's very user friendly, a lot of support online, you don't have to get the latest pc in order to run it, secure(well it's linux) and well it's free! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ

I assume that there are going to be plenty of folks for whom Vista will serve their everyday needs. If you ever decide to use your computer to watch High Definition content, burn DVDs or perform other intensive multimedia functions that is where you will see the degredation. And hopefully no security flaws will be found in your particular hardware, so Microsoft will never shut the drivers off for it. Also, you are going to need to be very methodical in ensuring that you keep Vista updated with the latest security patches. Thanks for sharing your experience! John Don,

I am running vista ultimate which I stripped down using V-lite. I love it. I have none of the issues listed in this article. My vista runs faster and much smoother then XP. I have 1 gig of ram. Vista Good over here. I have vista and XP on seperate partitions. I am running vista ultimate which I stripped down using V-lite. I love it. I have none of the issues listed in this article.

But, for Vista, it was waited for years, and I doubt they can pull a new version of Windows from their sleeve. @Dean

I haven't tried Vista yet (I remain skeptical because of software compatibility) but I don't think this is going to kill MS in any way. @ Bug – “Vista just killed it if you ask me”

I don't hate them. Never did. Windows was great at some points. But Vista just killed it if you ask me. It’s about time people will dump Microsoft.
