I would only add that many businesses have trouble with it if they have customized software as most of it doesn't work with Vista and vendors were reluctant to bring them up to compatibility. As computers got faster the past two years and added more RAM, Vista was certainly more tolerable, but now the whole subject is moot as we move into Windows 7, and no one should be purchasing Vista unless they are absolutely desperate for a new PC.

It's just that it requires more expensive hardware to do work as fast as other OS's do on cheaper hardware. And Vista costs more than other OS's. Well, XP may cost more now, but it used to be cheaper, and many linux systems are free if you can do the installation yourself. There is no problem with Vista as such; it works (for most people).

I have a dell with vista and don't have problems with it. Yes it's different from xp but just a little time with it, to me It's great. I do all kinds of things on the computer.

I want a laptop, XP, with a "standard" 3:4 screen, as I have much software that uses that ratio display. I can't find one anywhere. I guess we're all supposed to be watching movies instead of working.
