OT - Video Card Question(s)
Judah wrote in news:Xns9881ED410721AJudahnospamnet@
69.28.186.158: The free Vista Upgrade was listed on the third line. It was free.  Although I just noticed it's an upgrade to Vista Home, not Vista Pro. I'm somewhat surprised, because XP Media Edition is based on XP Pro... Might be worth a few bucks if they want it for Vista Pro upgrade voucher... I'm not up to date with the different Vista flavors - will they have a Vista Media Center? Will it be based on Vista Pro?

Microsoft lists 4 versions of Vista he http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...s/default.mspx but I think it'll be 7 different versions total. Probably if you get an upgrade voucher for the Home version, you might be able to apply it towards one of the 'better' versions. As far as Pete wondering if XP is going to be obsolete soon, I doubt it. Microsoft may drop the XP Home version first but the other 4 versions of XP should last for a few more years. There's still plenty of stuff out there that doesn't require Vista, yet. Microsoft just quit supporting 98 and ME this past summer... -Greg B.

Businesses will not convert until all their apps are thoroughly tested. Plus, newly purchased equipment and software will have to run their ammortization cycle before being replaced. What are the cycles for large corporations? 3 years?

The differences between the home and pro versions of Vista will be different than that of the XP pro and home. In the case of Vista it will be more a business and home. The Media center features will be active in the Home version. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...s/default.mspx
