Yes, but Vista takes the cake as the worst piece of crap to come out of Richmond yet. I'm surprised noone's taken them to court yet for selling a clearly unfinished product as anything but a beta. I work with Windows all day. That's why we have a Mac at home. -- Rene Brehmer IT Technician North Hill Inn http://www.northhillinn.com |

I have three computers running on Vista utilizing them playing music, movies, word processing, document saving, and about every application you can use. No problems here just as long as you really know what you are doing. Maybe its not the software causing the problem but the user not knowing how to properly operate the computer. |

Back when I built my first computer, DOS, Windows 3.1. 386-16 16 MB Ram. It would do a lot of neat things "Just as long as you really knew what you were doing". Like writing batch files to load and unload conflicting TSR's from memory etc. Here we are 22 years later, and you still have to be some kind of "wizard" to keep Windows working. -- Joe Leikhim K4SAT "The RFI-EMI-GUY"© "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?

Probably get the same performance with Windows XP but with Hundreds of dollars less hardware http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search - Or with something FREEEE ! Like Ubuntu they say in the future, you'll just need a computer and a browser, meanwhile, theres a petition you can sign, http://weblog.infoworld.com/save-xp/ It'd be nice to have a reliable, standardized OS available for sale June 30, 2008 |

I'm running a 1.5 gHz Via C7D WalMart box that cost $200. It does all of the above and I have no idea what I'm doing. www.ubuntu.com |

Vista Loses almost every performance benchmark, re Vista: - Story I heard was thet the guy at Microsoft in charge of Vista Said it was ready to ship. AND THEN he immediately went to Yahoo, with a Thirty Million Dollar Signing Bonus.. -Windows XP does the job here and Ubuntu GG is on the other partition IF Microsoft had a new OS that was worthy of purchase 'd get one Until then Its XP & Linux |
