Their is a new version of windows coming out at the end of 2006 call windows vista. You can look here what do you guys think of this. I think the coolest feature is the 3d viewing : 
My other favorite feature is speech recognition.

I like the old XP better...The icons will pwn though since they are 3D...Maybe free memory upgrades and 1 gig of ram!

A lot of people will probably need a new computer to run Vista smoothly. Graphics, it uses 64 bit colour and 512 ram works but it is too slow for it you should get 1 gig ram. If I get it, which I won't be getting once it comes out, I'll need a new computer.

Haha... 3d? why? it probably takes more time to load than XP... But that is a new feature that would only confuse people.
When i start getting hang of how to do stuff on ME, XP came out. When i get hang of XP, Vista comes out.... sheesh... Microsoft just gotta keep improving...

I was thinking about how it can be used and why they would think of it... Have you ever had alot of windows open and you had to move them out of the way to get to the page you want? Happens to me alot especially with pop-ups or multiple folders open. The 3d viewing makes it so I can see all the pages at once. I've gotten used to using the Alt-tab key when I when I lost my window, but it looks like Vista has upgraded that too with little screenshots of the page instead of program icons.

3d is indeed unnecessary. It is however, VERY good at turning heads. If you had this open on your desktop on your laptop and some one walking by were to see it they would go "OMG WTF THAT'S CRAZY!" Yea I think it's just a fun feature. I do however expect my vision to become horriblly jacked up from having to view everything at a perspective because everything is slanted like that. I never found out why it was necessary to view it in 3d when Alt+Tab is there to save the day. Oh btw, to all the XP users, windows is no longer working on any patches for XP (at least not any huge major changes like the last few we got). We are done. We are obsolete. They want us to get vista. They want to make money.
ADDITION:
And they want to make us upgrade our crap computers. Go 32bit gfx card with 64mb ram gogo!

I wanted Windows Vista a long time ago.. in 2005.. I got a dvd iso and mounted it and the installation was half-way through and then it had to restart comp to finish.. and it unmounted the image.. canceled the installation.. grr.. couldn't find any way to get it to stay mounted -.- and dvd drives + dvds = two exspensive
I hate having to wait till the end of 2006 for the public release
I'm definantly not going to pay for it though.. nope.. microsoft don't get to steal anymore of my money.

It's not like patches to XP are really neccesary, I live with an outdated version of 2000 fine. I'm not changing, and if I HAVE to change, I probabaly will switch to Mac even if it's not made for gaming, it'll keep me paying attention to school

You still need a 32-bit emulation layer or else you cant use 32 bit windows programs.
