I have Vista and love it. It works great on my laptop (1.8 gig duel-core with 2 gig memory). In fact, in most cases, it's much faster than my 3 gig celeron running XP (1 gig memory) desktop and my 2.8 gig desktop running XP.

Instead of whining about how Vista dosn't run on old equipment, maybe folks should just upgrade to new equipment.

Before you ask, I bought my first PC in 1979 (a SWTPC 6800 with 20k of memory), so, I do know a little about computers. Also before you ask, the 3 gig celeron is the 4rd computer i have run out of the cabinet it is in. It is using an old harddisk out of a laptop, old floppy drives (including a 5.25 drive) and a 5 year old CD. I know something about using old parts too. I also know when it's time to move on.

The laptop is a Lanovo 3000 n100. Paid $450 for it.
