    Well, that's what you get for ignoring the five year principle; that is, not to use any M$ product for at least five years because its really still in late public beta... LOL... Seriously, I've never trusted M$ to come up with anything so great that I have to use it right away. Reliable and stable is more my needs. After they've used and stabilized Vista and are ready to announce Vista 2 (whatever) then I might try upgrading to Vista. But, only on a machine that I don't really need. Sound paranoid? Of course. But if you've been stung by M$ as many times as me, then you can learn to appreciate caution too ;)

    anyways, I was as aggravated when I worked on my folk's vista.

    it is great even if your Laptop PC has insuficient memory you can use your memory stick as external memory.
    to let your Laptop PC run faster so is quite fast even if you only have 2 gig of memory you can expand it without demontage your pc :D

    vista is fine for me, doesn't bother me too much so i don't bother switching. but if i had preference to choose at the start i would go for xp purely on the fact that it uses less system resources so the comp can run faster and the fact that functionality between them is very much similar.

    wel i cant run the normal codecs that i was able to run on me windows xp, n some of the programmes on windows xp cant be installed on windows vista. Wel jst downloadin windows xp sp3 now, which shd be gd....n burnt xp sp2 - jst in case anythin comes up...windows vista may look good...but it can be dodgy at times, when it crashes for no reason, like when i play a film on windows media player, n hav 2 CTRL+ALT+DELETE to get Task Manager to load up....
    wel my comp has 2GB ram and a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz - which is well enough to run XP on my system...

    Vista with a Virtual Machine of XP for when needed will work.

    Ha Ha Ha, I didn't know there were people actually enjoying vista
    but big issue is it's usage of RAM, it takes up so much ram just to run it's fancy graphics that it included just to go up against their competitor apple

    As for MS employees, most do not like vista either and usually end up using Server 2003 instead, or uf those who do use vista, many, not all will use virtual machinese as well
