vista capable means with the right upgrades, your laptop would be able to run vista. Vista Ready means it is ready to run vista.

my buddy just got a new gateway and he was bragging about it... i just laughed because he cant really do much of anything on it right now, seeing as it still lacks a ton of support for a lot of programs.
looks sweet though cant wait for 1-2 years down the road when it mainstreams

like the termlab //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Agreed. All I see is a fancy GUI.... impressive

I went to the Vista launch party.. nothing too impressing, just a GUI. However, I have seen some of the new technology that is being developed for vista. You will be able to use thumb drives as ram, so, you could go pick up a 4gb thumb drive and just leave it plugged in back or something. Along with that, Sideshow. Sideshow is a little screen that will sit on the top of a laptop that will allow you to do small tasks like checking your email without actually having to turn on your laptop.

the thumb drive ram thing sounds like a gimmick. usb 2.0 doesn't have near enough bandwidth to make that worthwhile. i doubt the access times for flash are that great either.

at any rate i dont give a shit about vista. between the security measures and DRM i find it WAY to invasive. cramps my style.
