Windows Vista, successor of the well known Windows XP, is expected to be ready for worldwide users on 30 Jan 2007, and volume license customers end of this month. I’ve asked some of my friends about their opinions, and here are a few standard responds that I’ve received:
- Windows Vista? What 来的?

- What the heck is so good about Windows Vista? Same also lah!
- While it doesn’t break, don’t fix it dude!
- I’ll probably get a RM10 version in Lowyat and play play loh :)
- Why Microsoft? Go for Apple!

I’m planning to buy a new Intel Core 2 Duo powered rig with a OEM MS WinVista license (still yet to decide which version should I go for).

Regarding more information about the OS, what are the new stuffs and things like that, I’d suggest you to read these few sites to get some initial ideas:
