So far, I’ve heard no advantages to Vista save bells and whistles (Whoreally needs a series of panes that shuffle pictures before your eyes?)As to those saying I should suck it up and go Vista, you suck it up. MyXP’s working fine and I see no reason to fork over big bucks to end uphaving to learn a system that I ultimately do not need at this time.
