And that is just the ram, what do you have for a video card, cause normal 256MB graphics cards ain't going to able to handle Vista AND games (you will really notice the machine crying when you "Alt-tab" out).

MS already only support XP in there newer stuff. Sometime 2000. Also only USB support for most hardware it seems.
You will find MS Office 2007 etc etc only for Vista soon no doubt. If Halo 2 is Vista only so will Age of Empires games and all MS stuff I bet. Only matter of time before big games companys are Vista only too.
Also the new Validation tool is catching ppl with Pirate copies of XP out big time!
Sold more copies in the last few months than this time last year I bet.
You can't use any new MS Windows software unless its legal XP. Media Player 11 and Windows Defender are 2 I know of and you can bet future Office products will be the same.

i dont know. i dont think the gaming companies will necessarily follow suit if it means they are going to be making their games for a LOT less people....
i can see that happening if a toned down vista isnt released cos i know a lot of people that arent willing to put up with the hardware reqs for it
and yeah, microsoft wont be supporting xp sp1 after october i think it is

Well I use OpenOffice.Org instead of MS Office. It's smaller, a lot faster, and NO bugs (visible ones at the least).
Firefox and Thunderbird for Browsing and Email.
CDBurnerXPro For all my burning desires... also Open source application.
The only application that is not open source andthat I will continue buying is Adobe Creative Suite.

They recognise the name Microsoft and that's about it.
My customers BELIEVE that Office is a part of XP. And can't understand they have to spend over ?100 to get it, when they've reformatted their PC (cos they screwed it up) to get it back! 
It's like trying to get blood out of a stone to get a answer from them. :angry:
Yeah thats cool, but English countryside users are tech noobs. They wouldn't know what the hell Firefox was. :lol: Living in the dark ages.

Even worse lately. They bring stuff back because they can't get it working due to their thickness. :angry:
Sadly the damn Internet is killing off small shops like us. This will be a tough month.
Quite the opposite. The ppl around here are as tight as John Smedleys ass with Thunderhearts tongue up it! :lol:yeah but they must be really easy to sell shit too

They come into me for advice on stuff they brought on the Net or Dixons etc!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:
Some even say they prefer to come to us but then STILL buy from the large places because we just can't compete with the prices.
Sometimes we politely tell them to get stuffed! :angry:
But this is all a different flame. Like Supermarkets vs corner grocers shops. <_<
God I feel like i'm channeling a Rankin Rant! :lol:

Correct you will find the most common solution will be dual PCI-E videocards with SLI so they run in tandem. Oh yeah it is a conspiracy. It has been too long since the last monoplistic OS was dropped on us and we had to upgrade our systems to support that *cough* XP *cough*
Okay I am done now
