I am afraid. No telling what Vista nightmares lay ahead for me. Yet I know I will have to do serious studying so I don't unload something critical.

Thats what reformats are for

2 Gigs of ram is pretty much standard these days

Im avoiding vista as best I can. Our office is local networked with mostly xp machines, the two vista machines absolutly refuse to recognize the network exists

That's because the XP machines have not been assymilated.

Actually i found vista is a bully and a sore looser to owning the networks. It likes to rule over the rest... If it doesn't get its way its say no...:p

What I said from the beginning. Running XP just fine. The only thing that bothers me a little is the issue with 4GB RAM (only 3.2 recognized).

Bye bye, Windows Me II.

Ah btw, this time Microsoft won't announce or hype their new OS very much. Otherwise no one would by Vista in the mean time. Windows 7 will come over us like a storm.

And I actually think it will be pretty good this time around.

Windows 7 is Windows Vista Second Edition.
You hate Vista ? You'll hate Windows 7. :p

Nevermind, I don't need that crap anyway.

Well I used to hate XP when it came out. I hated ME before that and my only reall favorite was 98.

I didn't really like 95 because I prefered PCDos then.

So for Vista ya I hate some features but hey like its predecessors you can turn options on or off. So I'm sure windows 7 I will hate too then I will like it when its works right.

You are probably right Wolfhunter, the best time to buy though is after the first service pack has been released.

The most upsetting thing is that there is no compatition, all game are made to run in the windows environment, so there will only ever be windows, a shame though, with competition quality would be better & price a lot lower, this is why I have an AMD/ATI system, Intel may be faster but can you imagine if AMD had to fold up, well I'd rather not!!

My question is this. XP is a good OS ! Why mess with a nice, fairly compatable and stable OS to put a new, bloated piece of crap one on the market !?! Why not just keep XP and add the support for the new and upcoming hardware to it instead of constantly dumping new OS's on us all the time !
