Lol. Chris I used Vista for the last year and a half. I had some issues with it locking up while throwing out the trash (I had to turn off indexing), and being a resource hog. Just the other day I was "in the red" on my hard drive space, and did a clean up and defragged, and then I had less space. I had to turn off System Restore, and turn it back on, then I had a spare 35gigs. Otherwise Vista has been ok. (except for a few crashes)
But I tried to re-install it (for the first time!) and it wouldn't accept my Key code. It's legit, I bought it from Nothing But Software a year and a half ago, and installed it once, but no... no more installs for you!
You must pay for a new license!
Umm.. no. Even XP will let me install a few times on the same pc.
So, MS gets no more of my money..
