well yeah its designed to be more media-oriented, hence the need for high-performance (expensive) computers. at least on the vista suvey MS puts out, there is a question if i think Vista is ready to be released

Im a fan of the *idea* of it. I had the beta, but I ditched it. Bug's in a beta are one thing, but this was excessive.

Im leaving vista its just xp with a fancy new dress

Hmmm, I beg to differ.

Just like XP was a candy coated version of Windows 2000, it has also had many tweaks under the hood.

Vista includes many new tools, and features.

Such as...

-Side bar (microsoft's answer to apple's dashboard)
-Error correction (which rarely works)
- Aero theme (a smooth new interface)
- any many other things (which I'm lazy and tired ATM, so I don't feel like listing all of them).

Over all, I Microsoft did a pretty shitty job on the performance side. They just moved 25% of the virtual memory, to physical memory and called it state of the art technology.

So, Enterprise edition may give you better support being that the person who payed for it payed the extra money.
