Had a go at windows vista today.
I do not like it at all. One you need high end pc to get the best from it. Alot of schools will lose out on this. Alot of my programs did,nt work under windows vista. The layout is good but hard to use. They still have System Restore on there, 3 new windows games,Windows media player. Alot of drivers do not work at all and it was hard finding a virus checker for vista. Disk Defragmenter looks very poor and does,nt offer the same under xp. Compatibility mode does offer alot more for people using old software, but try getting it to work right? Untill the price comes right down then i will buy vista It was 30mins before i could pick up the basic of vista.

Why would I bother to spend the money . Can it do loads of stuff that XP can't ?? Didn't think so . Ooops , yes it will . Won't it make life difficult when I want to make a copy of some music or video stuff . I think it will . So yes I'm thick , I'll spend loads of money on a new rigg so that I can run vista and make my life even more complicated and difficult . At least I'll be at the forefront of hi-tech pc-ing . Whoopie . God bless you Bill
