Yes, I thought that was the right one. But looked and looked but no download link on that particular thread. I guess you have to login to see download link? Oh, well.

What do i have to do in order to install Vista X64? I have tried to start the setup in XP and Vista 32 but an error message said that i could not run the setup on that operating system. I have tried also to use the windows disk like a boot one but it stops without starting the installation process.

Maybe a faulty download? If booting from the DVD doesn't work, I'd say that's the problem.

I think it's a faulty download. Three days of download...

MS has stated many times that the reason Vista is on a DVD is the huge drivers pack that is included with it, so cheap morons with 3-4 years old hardware would still find it useful. That's why it's "fat".
About UAC, bla, it's the most useless thing in Vista, and the most annoying. I'm waiting for someone to find a way to somehow slipstream a hack to have it disabled by default. Other than that, Vista is better than XP in any way possible. Just name it, and I'll shoot you with proof. And don't say compatability, XP was the same when it came out in 2001.

It's funny that there are so many drivers, when there's no decent driver support for current hardware.
Vista = FAIL.
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

MS' job isn't making drivers... Blame Intel for that. Told you not to give me compatability crap. Half the things weren't working on XP when it came out in 2001.
Next...

Until i can get PES6 work Vista is a total disaster for me. That is the game that i play most during the year.

Spoken like a true fanboy. Vista isn't all a bed of roses, and there are plenty of counter arguments to you claim.
A lot of business organisations and non US governments are concerned about a US OS that has a "kill switch" built into it that can be remotely switched by a US company with a license do this whenever they want built into the EULA.

What is the actual reason for upgrading to Vista, apart from a fancy theme? Is it more stable than XP? Faster?

More secure, but I don't give a shit about that, never had any security problems with XP.
The only reason why I will upgrade to Vista is DX10, since I'm a gamer. Otherwise I don't see much point, it's a big moneysink. |

Have to agree with you on that, WGA is a hell born demon and it's integrated so deep into the code, that it can't be just removed. Yeah, it's a major draw back, but when you don't activate, WGA doesn't pop-up, lol.
And I'm not a fanboy, I just like a good product when I see it. Nothing wrong with that. You'll never hear me diss a linux or a mac OS. |

Irregardless, it's the main reason why people don't get Vista.
I don't, because there's no support for my chipset, my soundcard, or my perhiperals (scanner, keyboard (G15)) etc.
And the drivers for my new ATI-card are still in beta, which makes the games have graphical glitches, and the FPS suffers.
To me, VISTA behaves like as if it still was in beta-stage.

Well, sure, you can't use Vista, but you can't blame MS for that, nor can you say Vista is not worth upgrading to based on the absence of drivers. We all know everyone will move to Vista soon, like they did with XP. Many said it's just 98/2000 with skins, no real reason to upgrade, many things don't work there, bla bla bla, and they all moved to it.

True bud...
Vista is the Windows everyone must move over to now...
This is why Microsoft bought alot of stock in Memory Companies...
The problems I had was Vista had no idea what my SCSI Card was...
So I used Win2000 Drivers and it works great now...  ...
Same with the Sound Blaster...I got everything working perfect, around 99% perfect at least...he he...

Blame your hardware manufacturer if there is no driver out for the 30th september... I have only a generic USB2.0/sata external hard drive that still don't work under Ultimate x64.

Anyone else got a crashing Solitaire on Vista? It won't even start, just crashes...
Aero seems to shutdown right after Vista loads to desktop... Even though it worked with RC's. Anyone else got a problem running Aero?
