I’ve been having trouble with the audio of my pre-loaded XP for a few months now (sound works fine when I use linux, my DH partitioned my computer)—I’ve tried reinstalling the sound drivers, etc. yet a lot of times my sound sounds like Max Headroom talking and it’s really frustrating! :-( Anyone know how one goes about re-loading XP on a pre-loaded computer that didn’t come with a restore disc? :-(

This has to be humiliating for Microsoft. It appears that Vista truly is the Windows ME of 2007.

Many big corporations are not going to go to Vista anytime soon, but have to replace/add client PCs. The PC vendors like Dell don’t want to lose corporate sales over Vista.

Thank goodness. My XP computer works. My Vista computer borders on crap.

Moderately good news. I still think Windows 2000 was their best product. At least XP is supported by the full range of devices and drivers. Vista was pushed out on the market too soon. Dumping an OS on the marketplace without a mature and complete set of drivers is a recipe for failure.
