lol. Are these actual prices ? :unsure:

Do you see average users getting confused by the fact that there is a Windows 2003?  No, of course not.  It's not out there next to XP, just like the business versions won't be.

Look through the forums here, there are plenty of people who think they need to use 2003 and then wonder why their stuff doesn't work.

lmao It's true... :rofl:

To reiterate the mood of this thread, 7 versions?? :blink: wtf! i mean 3 maybe 4 is enough but 7? i will get the cheapest verision that allows remote desktop for sure the other stuff i will just have to see if its even needed.

and an ultimate edition?? i can't wait till microsoft creates a new sku for 'Vista: The Collector's Edition.' :rofl:

I am sure the most pirated version would be Vista Ultimate ;) .... hope we testers get a free link the same way like they did for XP x64

and when MS said the price would start around $99 i am sure they meant it for VISTA Starter edition

Ultimate n Pro might be around $200 mark

Windows Vista Ultimate Ultimate Crazy Get Jiggy With It Professional Media Center And Funky Fresh Grand Edition with Gold Teeth and Spinners - Free (From P2P).

:whistle:

Wow... Thats quite a lot of versions. I'm sure most people will be running pirated copies of Ultimate, though we'll have to see what Microsoft will try to do to keep pirates from cracking it. If I had to purchase a version, I'd most likely go with Home Premium, unless of course my campus provides me with a Pro version due to the fact that I'm going into Computer Programming.

And no wonder people warez windows... jesus, I eman just to get the gaming side you have to pay for the ultimate edition?

Stupid

Hojme Premium is aimed at the home sector with kids and profficient home users right, well what made them forget that the average home user with kids and teens will want to have the gaming side?

Now THAT is confusing.

Will PC manufacturers like Dell offer all their machines with Windows "Vista" Home Basic Edition? Which might not even have something like "WIFI AUTO-CONFIG"?

They'll probably make you pay a small "premium" for the "Premium" edition (lol) which will probably be the equivalent of Windows XP Home Edition today.. and yet you'll likely have to pay more for the "better" versions if you want more features.

And the Starter Edition thing is just crap. Limited to 3 windows or applications?? Um hello that doesnt make much sense.

Lol next thing they will say is only unlitmate supports x64! plus i still want to see a microsoft link to this! because ms relases everything on there site at same time as they make it public!

A lot of the stuff they're adding to it simply won't be available to people who pirate, like the free downloads or "Clubs" or preferred support.  Very good move.  :yes:

You are kidding right?

Remember that whole Windows validation thing for downloads? Pirate copy of XP right here. I didnt even have to download any additional hacks/patches/pirate my XP further. I downloaded everything I wanted with Windows Update saying my PC was legit :sleep: :rolleyes: Yep MS does real good wasting all that money on the battle against pirates. Face it; Pirates will NEVER be stopped. If its made it can be unmade. Not a very SMART move.

WGA is a validation tool, not a subscription. I don't know of many Microsoft subscriptions, such as MSN Premium, being hacked.

WTF is WGA? I've heard of WPA, but not WGA.

Windows Genuine Advantage, used to check your eligibility to download certain products from microsoft.

I dont see a problem, hopefully we'll get a great education discount again for Longhorn.

    • Yeah I have a Sound Blaster X3 too (bought myself) and that is set up with the 6-channel cable for true surround. BUT Spotify and TIDAL do not support 5.1 SACD formats so I have to use Acoustic Engine for the fake surround. Apparently Apple Music is the only music streaming service with true Atmos/5.1 support.
    • I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.
    • They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
