Just curious to see if anyone has gone out and bought Windows Vista yet?
Was in Future Shop today (the Canadian equivalent to Best Buy which owes it) and was very tempted to snag a copy. Only real reason I thought twice was I wasn't sure if it was safe to get yet. Mostly due to I wasn't a 100% sure it can still run all the programs and hardware on my current system smoothly. That and I'm still iffy on all the bugs and problems it has or probably has and has yet to be discovered and or fixed. Still tempted to go and pick it up soonish, picked up XP on release and I was very satisfied with the improvements from 98/2000, so hence why I ask to see if Vista makes the same jump or not.
Anyway anyone got this yet? If so what do you think?
Thoughts? Comments? Opinions?

It probably can. I also hear of slow-down issues, compatability problems and bugs. I don't want to buy an OS only to find A) It erases all my old files. B) Slows my machine. C) Sucks. | |

What sort of third-party issues? Is there a lot of software not working, or are there some hardware devices without properly working drivers, or what? | |

as for getting it to upgrade the current computer....just like the PS3, WAY TO EXPENSIVE.
plus, i dont think my card is good enough. And Apple said Vista is having issues with iTunes...i need that to put music/videos onto the iPod.  | |
