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.

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.

Rlwainwright: thanx for that nice little compliment! No, I'm not dense as you pleased yourself to name it but there's sometimes a need for just a little push into some direction, esp. since Ejiliu posted he would use iTunes and iPod exclusively.

The reason for not switching is because
1) Job requirement
2) Large amount of application already purchased
3) My wife said so. (most important reason)
