    Vista sucks up so much system resources. If you were to reformat and run XP, you'll notice a hug increase in processing speed.

    Have it installed on both the Desktop and Laptop....I will use XP till Vista pack 2 or 3 comes out and then I might downgrade to that to keep with the times.


    Problem with Vista is that its a pain. My parents are computer programmers and my mom is on her 3rd month of getting there 5 programs to work with Vista. She still has 3 to go.
