Re: Is Vista "there" yet?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

No.  If you want to try using Vista on a new
system, at least get a dual-boot setup so you
can boot to XP if you need to.

Wireless "n" is being widely sold, but is not an
official "standard" yet.  Most "n" routers and
adapters will probably work fine with the final
standard (but may require updating the
firmware).
