Yeah, but by that time Vista would actually would be worth buying.
All the people I know that use Vista only complains about the glitches and slowdowns that they experience. Hopefully, all that will be ironed out by that time.

Yeah, my brother thinks having a gig of ram is enough for Vista, but that's the amount all my friends have.

i had a laptop a while ago and it had 1Gb... (actually like 842mb which is lame for a 1Gb stick) and it was using 60% all the time with no apps...
my other laptop with 2GB of ram was amazing and i never had a problem with it...

I saw an instructinoal video on this, and I think it's the one outrage is talking about...
I don't know, I'd rather just have vista on it rather than mac os x
