Vista....

[David]

 

[mbonwick]

Random or what?

Have to agree with the cartoon though

ign5: ign5:

 

[Coxster]

Like the error message!

 

[compsci]

Perhaps MS have realised that windows working correctly is distinctly abnormal.

I can't wait to see what fun I can have with Vista when my new PC Comes in "5-7 Working Days"

 

[kettlefan]

my mate had the BETA version of Vista, and it damn near killed him

Don't you mean 5-7 WEEKS


Anyway, vista will be good in the summer after SP1 (even better if Mackoy can recode BVE so it works!)

 

[nath9425]

Yeah that would be Brilliant!! Well Dell said 5-7 Days! hehe! But you knnow what royal mail are like.....

 

[Guinness]

It's the general rule with Windows, wait for Service Pack 1.

 

[mbonwick]

5-7 days for dell to build it, god know how long till delivery.


What specs has it got anyway

 

[Guinness]

Another good find David.

 

[nath9425]

Well!

So it should run MSTS and BVE 4 Very well!
(Only if it turns up!)

 

[mbonwick]

Not really the best, won't run BVE cos of an error in BVE's coding, you will struggle to open word docs with MS works. Apart from that, good specs.


I assume it has ethernet conections??

 

[nath9425]

I think it has Ethernet Connections..... I know the proble with BVE 4 thats why I'm going to run a dual boot with XP I mean with a 320GB Harddrive it won't take up much!

Plus hopefully Microsoft Office 2007 will turn up later in the week and I will put that on it!!

 

[mbonwick]

Fail enough RE: BVE


Which version of office you getting? Personally I want Vista ultimate and Office 2007 Ultimate.

Was looking at the XPS 710 as a gaming rig earlier, option for 1.5 TB of storage! No-one will ever fill that!

 

[Nick]

Good find Dave.

 

[Coxster]

 

[David]

Is that so? I paid £75 for Vista Home Premium (about $145) not long after the launch. Legal as well....

 

[Tom]

MS reduced their prices significantly after release.

BVE doesnt work on Vista!

I was getting a PC similar to those specs but pulled out due to Vista and my XP disk is corrupt!

Splashing out a bit anyway, that computer must come out at around £500!

 

[nath9425]

£520 to be exact! And with a 320 GB Hardrive if I run a dual boot it wouldnt hurt or maybe I could put it on the XP Computer down stairs! BVE4 That is.....

 

[David]

If you have you PC as a duel-boot machine, remember, you need to install Windows XP (or 2000) first, otherwise, Vista won't see it as a duel boot machine....

 

[Tom]

I challenge you to a duel.

But... I have a dual-boot machine so I will win. :thebirdm:

 

[nath9425]

Actually Tom you may have a Dual-Boot but you also have *20000* Computers along side it

 

[David]

Tom, don't start. I'm having a bad day....

The typo-demon has got a strong hold over me today....

 

[mbonwick]

Then I'm not the only one who is being picked on by Friday the 13th!
