Although Vista graphics requirements are too high, the good thing is that there are a plenty of sub-$100 video cards with 256MB (both PCIe and AGP), capable to run Aero.

However, for people looking for 3D desktop eye candies without upgrade of old hardware, there are a lot of Linux distributions with Aero-like rotating and flipping windows.

i believe that Microsoft Vista will be a huge change for the computer world. its about time that i see something new because windows xp was starting to get boring after 5 years! since vista is so demanding i believe that everyone will be having beter systems because the companies will have to make better ram, video cards etc… just to keep up with technology, so the prices will lower on some of the “top” items now and everyone wont have a problem sporting 2 gigs of ram in their rigs.. and besides ALOT of people already have at least 1 gig of ram and a 256mb video card.

So the new MS OS is taking advantage of the newer technology and gives the users option of scaling down the graphics if they don’t have the necessary hardware? I’m not exactly a MS fanboy, but I don’t see anything wrong with this.

Bah. Well the Macsboyz were always able to take advantage of accelerated graphics since most had no choice since it came integrated with their Macs right? Or was the graphics card optional? (I wouldn’t know). With Intel releasing their 9xx chipset, people finally have an onboard graphics option that is DX9 compliant and so can actually have some acceleration by default (albeit, heavily restricted). Yes, yes I know Nvidia and ATI have their own integrated solutions, but that’s peanuts compared to the juggernaught that’s Intel.

But the point is, if people WANT the Aero experience they can shell out the cash and get a new card with 256MB onboard memory. If they don’t give a crap, then they can live with a new interface but without all the candy, and I know that’s where most people will lie, from the commandline die-hards forced to live in a Windows world to the n00b who’ll be lost if a menu changed color.

Personally, I know I want all the candy I can get…esp if my video card is going to be used to handle all those chores, allowing the CPU & RAM be free to run apps, instead of the GUI. I mean the graphics card does jack shit when you’re in Windows otherwise….it’s a massive resource that’s not being used currently.

Now if you have a mediocre system and you try to run Aero…well d’oh you’re gonna crash and burn buddy. And by mediocre, I mean a card that has less than 256MB of RAM. It’ll be interesting to see how well the final version of Vista will perform.

Of course they will, because Microsoft is always very giving with their software, just like I am sure that every Windows Vista package will only be $10. (but you will have to use all of their Live software package, forever!)

So I take it that every box of Windows Vista will come packed with new graphics cards, and more memory modules, so the end user doesn’t have to fork out MORE money?

haha…in bizarro world
