Finally i able to to treat myself an original copy of windows vista home premium. This is some of my goals or u can say commitment after i attain a job and get paid for my work. I was using a pirated version of windows vista ultimate although i could only use it for 30days. While i was using "trial" vista ultimate, i found the security measures are upgraded from windows xp and to certain points its actually do feel like linux in certain ways. Not a bad thing i must say. Every command that try to invoke system operation will stop everything in the background and prompt u a dialog box, warning if the command is actually invoke by an authorized user or isn't. I like that. Windows user nowadays takes everything for granted and usually doesn't even inspect what operations is actually processing in the background. One bad habbit i notice that some will always click yes at every dialog box appear in his screen which later not suprising, his computer got nasty malware. After some time using the vista ultimate, i decided this OS deserve my support (and a part of my wallet cash) but i couldn't afford an ultimate. I settle with premium instead and i love it ever since.
Almost every part i need is still available with premium. The only regret when i do purchase this is the shop doesn't have 64-bit vista premium in stock. Not a big problem and actually a good thing. When i'm operating 64-bit vista, my scanner doesn't have a driver for that kind of OS. My scanner model is CanoScan 3000EX and at some website i found in the internet mention canon won't support 64-bit OS for some of its devices. Pretty bad technical support i might say. Performance wise, its identical between the two (64bit & 32bit vista) until developer use extensively 64 bit coding in their program. In other aspect, my computer only have 2 GB of RAM, getting 64bit vista is actually redundant.
Upgrading between 32bit vista to 64bit vista is out of the question without clean install due to difference in architecture and technology. There's a way to minimize the impact of the clean install by using backup function of vista (windows everywhere or something) but it won't be that easy since some of your devices may not have 64-bit drivers. Check that your computer components does support 64 bit OS at least in terms of drivers.
In 3 years windows 7/vienna will roll out to market (hopefully). I'm gonna start saving for it and Diablo 3 too. :D
