It's been a while since Microsoft announced the Vista for next Windows OS (XP replacement) which will be out soon (in the market in January 2007). By last week (7/6/2006), Microsoft takes a step further by introducing Vista beta 2 to the public. You can try it here! and the respond was high as the download sites are full. Even by introducing it in bittorent network (by Windows fans) didn't help much either. Does Vista really appeal to me? ;)
In some way, Yeah! You get the latest product from Microsoft. Very much similar to Mac OS X Tiger which being brag by Apple as the best OS in the market now. Name it, dashboards = gadgets (aka widgets :p), safari = IE7 (tab browsing capable), Windows Life OneCare = Apple don't need one (coz their security features lack vulnerability!) :(, WMP11 = iTunes.... and much more.
Hey wait... isn't that all this already have in the market? Yeah. I even try to Vista-ing my PC without having to try Vista :p Go get your widgets from Yahoo!, WMP11? Try iTunes coz I've been comparing quite sometimes now that iTunes use smaller memory than WMP11 beta. The different is by 20-15MB. I think this is because WMP11 beta try to get internet connection each times for URGE site. This is the only mistake for WMP11 beta. They should put some button to disengage this behaviour of WMP11 :p
Previously in my blog, I publish about Windows Desktop Search, yeah, that is some feature to add for Vista-ing your PC. About Microsoft introduce Windows Life OneCare Security Protection, this issue is debateable whether it is a good idea for OS developer to introduce one. Basically, because of this reason: why consumer need to pays for subscription for security reason when Windows Vista vulnerability occur. It is the job of OS developer to fix and gives better OS to consumer.
Some great features in Vista is its Aero feature although it isn't interest me much due to some reason this is why Vista Premium Ready requirement is 1GB Memory. Woooo.... Thats is the highest spec available in Market right now!!!
(Hello Bill Gates kawanku, takleh lower down sikit ke the requirement tu?)
What really interest me is the feature Windows ReadyBoost which gives memory boost from your Thumb Drive. Hmmm, I'm imagine of using multiple thumb drive to get my memory up to 5GB REALLY (THUMB DRIVE IS MUCH CHEAPER THAN MEMORY (DDRII ram) for laptop) :p just kidding. ha ha ha
Touché as it is.. iMac can run XP now but PC with Vista can't run Mac OS X Tiger? This is due to simple fact that Microsoft want to dominant the OS market which by introducing their customers to OS X will somehow gives chance for comparison. Which 1 will win you think? ;) keep in mind that OS X Leopard is going to release in the same times of Vista. I'm crossing my finger for Leopard to run in the PC as Mac now run in Intel. :p <-Me dreaming loh.
Hmm... back again. Do I really want to upgrade? Mine - all Vista requirements achieve. Maybe I stay for a while to my Vista-ing XP. Maybe in 2008 I'll get my Vista copy. Yeah after all the bug in Vista gone ;)
