 |  Re: how many people are using Vista? Well I don't know about North America, but most people I know who have purchased a new system all have vista installed. Seeing as the average user doesn't know **** about an os, they'll buy whatever came with the bundle they bought (which, seeing as microsoft is trying to kill xp, would be vista). So, even though I dont know any numbers or statistics on this, I'd agree with Mak, there are a lot of people using vista, maybe not as much as XP right now though.

| Re: how many people are using Vista? Because Vista still isn't as good as XP.

| Re: how many people are using Vista? ^^^i agree, but we will all have to switch to it eventually sadly...I'll prob be switching within the next few months...only because i want to get more ram and DX10 capabilities. But vista does have some nice features.

| Re: how many people are using Vista? Yea, but when that eventually comes, Vista will be good and usable. Agreed with the features. I've tried it but it kept crashing.
