MS Advice

There are thousands of KNOWN issues with any new OS release, especially Vista. Wait a year before getting a new OS, especially one from Wild Willy.

If you use VPN for loginng in to your company's systems...DON'T get Vista yet.

The screen went dead on my old home laptop of 2003 vintage. so, i went out and bought a $600 Toshiba. It works well and is very fast, but I don't like the layout of the new Windows. I'm pessimistic that they will improve that, since it seems they are going backwards on the user-friendliness concept.

if you need another os right away vista is probably not the best choice. if you can wait a little while then vista will be better than most of the choices. Vista will always be better on a pc made for it. installing on an old pc is just unnecesary and wreckless.:giggling:

if you get the right hardware vista will blow you away. otherwise it will drive you nuts

it is probably the most user friendly windows yet, i dont get what people are complaining about. is it because you have more control, more options or what?
