I'm a Mac person, but everyone I know who has dared run Vista has had nothing but headaches and have run back to Windows XP. In fact, Microsoft knows it. Their original timeline said they would stop supporting XP at some point... Now, they still update it. And Windows 7 is the next new thing; Vista was just a disaster.

I suggest getting a legit copy o Windows XP from NewEgg and then wait for Windows 7 to show up.

Or you can always get a Mac. ;)

Vista is fine on my laptop, it came with it. My PC is XP and I won't change it. I like Vista fine enough, there are some annoying things but nothing HORRID. From what I heard from a friend it only REALLY sucks when you upgrade from XP vs. the computer coming with Vista. Overall, too many bells and whistles that slow shit down, but you just have to take them off.

don't migrate to Vista unless your machine has 2gb of RAM minimum.

XP is best OS ever.

Having said that, I run Vista SP1 on both my Desktop and Laptop. Works Great. :D

Hey look at this, Microsoft lied about what machines could handle Vista or not. Here's what Windows chief Jim Allchin said:
Quote:
I'm sorry to say that I think this plan is terrible and it will have to be changed.

I believe we are going to be misleading customers with the Capable program. OEMs (computer makers) will say a machine is Capable and customers will believe that it will run all the core Vista features. The fact that aero won't be there EVER for many of these machines is misleading to customers. ...

We need to meet on this. Please set this up ASAP. We need something simpler in my view. I know we don't want to hurt the OEMS, but end-customers must be the top priority. We must avoid confusion. It is wrong for customers. And we probably will have to change your current plans.
