Its OK once you get all the crap turned off, and the free preview software uninstalled. It took a week for me to get Vonage out.

I have Windows Vista and haven't any problems with it other than some compatibility issues here and there.

i tried vista but couldn't get it to work with either of my wireless cards, also it told me my antivirus and cd burning software wasn't compatible and might not work. For now i consider it junk but i assume it will become better after microsoft stops supporting xp. Good luck though.

Blue, once they get Vista RIGHT, it will probably be a decent system. Biggest problem is that a lot of the old programs will not work on Vista. You wind up either buying new ones or going on line to the manufacturer to download a patch, IF, it is available that will allow your program to run on Vista.

XP, is what I wish that I had now. Unfortunatly, any computer you purchase now comes with Vista. You can go to dell.com and order your computer built with either Vista or XP. When I have the extra cash, I am planning on spending the $5-600 for a laptop that will run some old programs that I still use. That will be cheaper than buying new ones.
