I hear there are many bugs that havent been fixed yet. You will have to wait for updates to avoid headaches _____________________

I didn't bother getting it, I did get the 64-bit Windows XP Professional a while ago though, when I installed that it was a nightmare - program compatibility issues. Yeap, bet Vista is no different...but one thing is for sure.....
VISTA IS PRETTY! |

www.tomshardware.com did some benchmarking tests with xp vs. vista.
they took to identical computers, identical equipment and loaded one with xp and one with vista, they ran a bunch of programs and games and the computer with xp performed faster across on 90% of the applications.
pretty scarry huh? _____________________

Vouch that. i have 2 computers and i bought vista and installed it on my other one and i swear it runs slower but some times its like lighting fast. im going to wait till its loaded up with shit and then do a bunch of Scans,Deletes and stuff see about that. i can vouch that there are nonsensical errors and shit and there are help icons that piss me off, computers are built for the complete dumb ass now a days. they should make them like the did in the old days if you don't know then don't use it dummy!!!.

| I recently bought some new computers for my busniness and they came with vistas loaded...after only a few days of my IT guys whining I new that it was a mistake...so I purchased XP Pro for them all and had them and started over. Networking issues, compatibility issues, etc, etc. |
