Has anyone got Vista yet, my Brothers running it now on his PC and it has to be said it looks pretty and it moves very fast, definately going to get it eventually. The new menus, start bar, and window style is very cool, the minimize, maximize and close icons in the top right of a window have been replace by the ones similar to the new windows media player style. I was just having a mess about on it earlier today and it pretty cool that it rates your computer out of 5, based of processor, hard drive etc. even better is that new software has ratings on the pack which tells you the minimum rating needed on a comp to run it. So anyone got it or going to get it because so far it looks pretty awesome.

We've tested it at work, its a bit much for our systems yet - seems to suck the life out of the cpu if more than two progs are runnning at the same time, and thats with a P4 2.8Ghz & 1gb of ram.

Looks funky tho, very Apple :) Theres a Vista theme available for WinXp here:

Have to admit I haven't used it, but anyone I've asked gives it the thumbs up.

Only got Vista Basic which looks nice and doesn't cripple the CPU which is nice. Very fast actually :D
