I would get a pair of FRS radios for portability, and a bunch of radio
shack intercoms located in various places throughout the house.

Did any of you find any major headaches moving to vista?
I kind of see it as nothing to get excited about. Is that true?

I haven't moved. I played with a test machine, and couldn't get
excited enough about it.

That's what I'm thinking.
When MS differeniates between Basic Ready and Premium Ready systems
does that mean that any version of Vista will run on either machine,
but on the Basic Ready it will run without Aero, or do they mean that
the Basic Ready can only run Windows Vista Home Basic?

My thoughts exactly, but I'd have to find a utility that I trust to
check. The parameter that Hard Drive Inspector was reporting has a
top reading of 100 and reported the drive at 1. Forgot the name, but
that sort of difference doesn't inspire confidence in the reporting
software. Probably go

I think it's a lot smoother than XP. Built in Media Center is cool too.

Hate the new interface, but that's just me I guess. I always put XP into
Windows Classic mode the first time I get in after an install..
Don't like the new Explorer at all, I like List mode, but obviously MS does
not care what I think.. :)
Seems OK as far as speed and stability so far, but I

Give a listen to the most recent TWIT. They have a pretty thorough
discussion of what the differences are. Also there is some good info
on this page:

I had a Dell laptop. I traded it to someone for a Macbook Pro. I
recently traded the Macbook Pro to someone else for a Core 2 Duo Dell
notebook. Went full circle, and got a hardware upgrade for $0.
Anyway, the first thing that I did was install my MSDN copy of Vista
Ultimate (32 bit). It

What Virtual program supports Vista? Certainly not Aero?
Right now none. Every try I've had under vmware bombs. It kind of works in
virtual pc 2007 but what a hastle and no support to allow running vista home

You can run Vista (non Aero) in VMWare at least.

Is there an upgrade path from XP or will Vista be a clean install.. THAT in and
of itself might be the deciding factor for me.. Oh and the cost factor... Is it
really worth the price just to pay for a new toy???

Yes, you can upgrade from XP.

Yes, you can upgrade an XP installation to Vista. I haven't
tried it but I hear it takes several hours.
I'm getting a free copy of Vista for beta testing it, but
I doubt I'd purchase it for full retail price. I will be
buying a new laptop soon, so that should come with
an OEM copy of Vista.

You can just use the additions from the new betas to run with the RTM older

I too went through this with my Grandmother in her

near impossible to get her to understand to hit a

just worse in the

Ever since the Nvidia version 9.x.x.x drivers have come out, I have
been unable to upgrade. Everything would work fine EXCEPT playing
