Annoying presumption... And actually, you are wrong. Big surprise, eh? The point was not how fast the laptop is but how fast it ought to be relative to the other computers I run, which are all 400 - 900 megahertz. How in the hell do you know what kind of computer I own?

It is the choice I have and the choice I'll take when I get the time-- some flavor of *nix. You can also by boxes preloaded with some of the *nixes. If Vista works for you, then lucky you I guess. I have a friend who likes it as well. I push these things pretty hard though, and not just video, so they take a beating. Jake,

Usually, this stuff just piles more code onto the already bloated system. At any rate, I've installed to update. I haven't had time to run it much yet though. jdallen,

Welcome back.

I gave Vista an honest try. I’d have never bought it if it wasn’t already installed but I gave it a try. Its maddening, truly amazingly bad.

I work in ISD for a large retailer from Arkansas (guess which one!) now and it is pretty much a joke. The workstation guys aren't even looking at upgrading right now from what I can tell. Of course, they're also still working on getting XP SP2 rolled out, so things move kinda slow around here. I have heard nothing but bad things about Vista.
