    To me, I find no need to upgrade to Vista as of right now. Many things are not yet compatible with it.

    The only reason I don't upgrade to Vista is that my computer's system restore function is stuck to the configuration of when I bought it, and it's very annoying to live under that fear...

    Yeah, so you are afraid if you upgrade, your files would be lost?

    Yes, sad, but there is hope, maybe if you are desperate for Vista, you can always make backup disks of your files.

    I know, but I still love my XP for now. Is Vista really cool, though?

    The only difference I have seen on display computers with Vista are the pretty visuals and graphics.

    Yeah, the only difference I'm noticing is that it's pretty slick, graphics wise. There's like, no upgrade to computing power. But still, those visuals are pretty sweet.

    Ya agree, Bliz produces games that doesn't employ the state-of-art special effect... Yet, I just like Bliz style graphics... And I think they have confirmed that SC2 will be fully DX9 compatible, i don't think we need VIsta (hopefully). I pray that my 2Ghz+4200Ti+512Mb RAM shitty rig can SC2... :'(

    512 Mb RAM? LOL! I had a really old Windows 95 Computer that had 76 Mb of RAM.

    Yeah, 512 Ram seems to be the minimum to run a great game like this, so I'd say it's good enough, so don't worry...

    I have a nice desktop here. No need to upgrade any hardware. (Except maybe a printer)

    I drool whenever I see the picture of a brand-new Alienware computer.
