when you install vista, does it destory everything on your hard drive or simply replace xp?
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine. Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I think if you install the upgrade you can transfer you files to the new os. Or you could piggy back Vista onto XP and have both os' s installed dividing your HDD in half and giving you the option to choose OS' s. Although I have no idea why you would want to do that unless you' re a security freak. If you buy the complete OS I' m not sure how it works. Probably the same way except you would have paid more for nothing if you want to use it to replace a MS os. So to answer your question, I don' t believe you have to lose your files if you want to keep them, its just a matter of using the transfer wizard or whatever. That being said I have a hunch that certain obscure programs might not work on Vista. We' ll only know for sure once the os is released I guess. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/library/1a3fbe72-9de8-4b94-b254-586a61843a04.mspx#BKMK_U

Just pirate it! :) I wouldn' t buy that OS until it is widely supported, and I am hearing that many XP and earlier apps simply won' t run under Vista. When Vista comes out, I will finally upgrade my PC from 2000 to XP.

Windows products are worse than Playstation consoles - I' d never switch to one before it' s established - everyone who makes the switch when it comes out will become a free beta tester for MS (and he will be one for 2 years probably). XP has become a very good system now , but it took a lot of betatesters work :)

ah who cares, Xp does it right, What does Vista bring in? a more demanding system os with a nice graphical look, I dont like the looks of those gadgets, ..and, erm what else does it have? Oh yeah, a stupid price tag, I wont be upgradeing untill its mainstream or I get fed up with Xp and download the illegeal version.

When Vista comes out, I will finally upgrade my PC from 2000 to XP. Same here. I' m wary of switching over to the bigger-better OS, untill I' ve let the guinea pigs in front get mowed down by Microsoft.
