Microsoft Releases Vista Hardware Requirements

Digital Inspiration writes "CNet reports that Microsoft has kicked off a 'Get Ready' campaign aimed at helping customers prepare for Windows Vista. The site also includes an Upgrade Advisor tool to help people determine just how Vista-ready an existing PC is." From the article: "The marketing programs and upgrade tool are designed to ease some of the uncertainty around Vista well ahead of the back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons, the two biggest PC selling times of the year. Vista had long been expected to arrive by the 2006 holidays, but Microsoft said in March that it would not arrive on store shelves until January."

I'm getting a Mac.

I'm getting one of the new 20" screen CoreDual 2GHz iMacs. They run really fast, they can use Bootcamp with XP for games, and the Mac OS X side has all the great productivity stuff I need and the stability to Windows can't give me.

I'm sorry, but when enough people go on and on and on about how bad Windows is maybe you should consider something rather amazing. Maybe they're right! Wow! What a novel idea, thousands of computer users griping about Windows having all of these problems are right! That's amazing!

So, those of you who try to downplay the whole "evil empire" thing can go get Vista and DRM the hell out of yourself while we Mac users get respect from the company we buy our products from. You don't see Apple treating us as potential criminals require activation codes and Genuine Windows Verfication crap.
