I just bought a dell ( 4 days) w/Vista Home Premium
and so far I mostly like it.

I’ve mostly resolved all my older software compatability issues.

I had already read a bunch of tech message boards and online mags re: Vista and hadn’t seen any “showstoppers” to stop me from buying it.

what land mines am I about to step on ?

The two biggest complaints I get are, non-compatability with current industry software; and overuse of system resources for routine tasks.

Vista is like a gas: it will expand to take up the available space.

Purists will point out that it’s trying very hard to emulate a Mac.

Many people are living with Vista, just like many people continue to live with cancer.

My question is, what about all that extra weight?
