Technically couldn't you run 98se then? I mean that's really a non argument
and more of a geek statement

Someday you may want DX10. Though that rumor about DX10 not being
compatible with XP may be more BS than truth.

Im enjoying Vista RC2 myself. It includes many nice features but most
importantly it is really the first version of Windows to focus on security
more than backward compatibility. Its fast looks great is stable and should
help stem the tide of internet threats. The price is steep (greedy
*******s) but if you go with the upgrade version of Home Ultimate or Basic
for $99-150 it not that bad. Well worth it if you have a DX10 capable video
card (of which I don't know any) but not really before then I guess.
