Woow WIndows Vista.. what a hot subject i can say. I have talked a lot in my area with many of my friends and all of them had only positive thoughts about it. I can say that i was blow off by this new windows system. Some things certainly lack to it but this new look which Microsoft has incorporated in it certainly do the money you would give for it. I have waited this new system for 2 weeks and here i am using it. It was pretty hard for me to buy it because in my area it can't be found. So i had to ask a friend from another part of my country to order me. I am so happy using it and all i have are only words of gratitdue. I post here a short description about VISTA. Windows Vista contains hundreds of new features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. For developers, Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework out of the box. The .Net Framework makes it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with the traditional Windows API.

i think it would be 256mb of ram and aroung 5gb of HD space. though i am not sure of the configuration.

The basic P4 is required for windows vista others are not mentioned but 512 Mb RAM will be beter than a 256 ,coz it has a lot of features to keep up

First of all if you buy your pc after sept 06 then only vista will work or we can say install. Minimum requirement is 512mb ram, dvd rom, 128mb graphics card,15 gb hard disk space to install it. however Microsoft vista home basic can install on older pc. but it do not have any spacial facility of vista.

I have installed Vista beta 2 version on my computer and works very well. The minimum requirements for vista are:- P4 1GHz(x86) processor but works better with core 2 duo processors, 512 Mb ram but works better with 1 Gb, inbuilt graphics chipset or graphics card with 128 Mb for video memory and giving pixel shader 2, 15 Gb free space on your harddisk. I have 1 gb ram and P4(x86) processor and vista is running very well but I had to change my old monitor because of that as when I installed vista my monitor didn't supported it.
