I'll second that.  Vista is not a good operating system.  I'd put XP Pro on
it.  The DRM/RIAA intrusions are something that should never have been
allowed.  FWIW, Vista sales are dropping and not increasing.  That should
say a lot.

I have made it perfectly clear to my clients that I will not support or even
work on a Vista-equipped computer.  There are driver issues and other things
that may not be able to be resolved.  I don't want to be the Don Quixote
tilting against that insidious windmill.

If you check with your computer vendor, they may have a program in place to
give you Windows XP Pro at little or no cost.
