dyabolical, you should have no problems installing Photoshop, even if it's pirated. That has nothing to do with Microsoft and everything to do with Adobe //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey look, a good review...

All in all, I am impressed by Windows Vista, and I will surely move my two Windows installations to Vista (obviously leaving the XP partitions in tact). Windows Vista is better than XP, and definitely more than just an improved look as many say.

Another one!? ZOMG!

Without considering the gaming advantages of Vista, it's clear to us that the new MS OS is worth the asking price - providing you can pick up an OEM copy. Full-version Vista is best saved for a) those who don't mind forking out over hundreds while only getting Home Premium and b) those who buy with new systems.

 

Whether you choose 64-bit or 32-bit Vista will ultimately come down to how far ahead you want to push. Yes, 64-bit is more secure and is a 'cleaner' operating system, with less backwards compatibility and more headroom for the future - especially if you're using more modern hardware. However, 32-bit is the smoother upgrade for most people, and is probably the one we would recommend to almost everyone.

 

When DirectX 10 games start arriving, the avid PC gamer isn't going to have a choice about upgrading. But, until then, get a disc and start the installation - you'll never go back to bland old XP again.

As i said, i am really liking vista so far.

The mac commercial with the secret service type dude is somewhat true...but it isn't THAT big of a hassle...
