How is Windows Vista?

Has anyone played with Windows Vista beta version? Is the Audio setup superior to XP? Does it still have k-mixer problem?

I have been thinking about buying a new PC to support multi-media feature and 200gig of Apple lossless files, but wondering if I want to wait until next Feb. I can't change to Mac mainly because of misc other reasons.

Using iTune and ipod exclusively.

Sorry, but there should be no real reason not to go for a Mac! It will run your windows stuff as well - as you might know (Parallels!). The team iTunes - iPod-Macintosh is unbeatable!

He flat out tells you he can't get a Mac and you advise him to get a Mac. Are you dense? Or just your typical Mac user attitude showing thru.

Yes, Windows Vista has far superior audio capabilities. Don't know about the K-mixer problem. I would recommend waiting for Microsoft to release their 1st Service Pack (SP1) for Vista before jumping in.

Doesn't SP1 comes out about 1 year after initial release? That means I have to wait almost until Christmas 07.

I actually had the first version of XP. It really was not that bad.
