My machine is about 5 years old and it runs Vista just fine. And it

running Vista fine to the end.

Even the last machine I built, a few months ago, has XP on it. I'm not
touching Vista with a barge pole - far too many issues with it.

Sorry wrong newsgroup for mickysoft rants.


one reason i decided on an acer netbook laptop over any other kind of
cheap one was that it runs XP. having a 120GB HDD and costing only $349
didnt hurt either. built in wireless too!
