I like using MP3 players that don't require proprietary software to transfer files

I work for Vista too! Oddly, I don't have it, and have never used it. I guess I'm not working hard enough.

No wonder Vista quit paying me.

Have you guys seen this "transform XP to look like Vista" on www.download.com home page.....I did it, its kinda cool. Gives you the "sorta" vista aero gui look, blacks out your taskbar too and gives you a couple gadgets, and gives you the cool "start button orb" too you should check it out if youre cheap like me and generally do not want to test Vista at such an early stage. I downloaded a Flip3d Program so now when I alt-tab, it does the tiling thing...SOO COOL!!11!1! Im gonna rock with this until service pack I for vista comes out lol!
Once upon a time....

Sure, from what we have seen from customer input there are some 3rd party software/hardware developers who simply refused to make to make the necessary changes to be compatable with vistas architecture. The largest call volume we have is regarding three key issues. 1) OneCare has a compatability issue one SOME machines due to a coding error onecares security policy will block all network connections until disabled or installed. 2) Driver issues a lot of companies dont have them out, or they arent easy to find, or they are not coded properly and thus dont work. 3) Upgrade from previous OS due to any number of 3rd party issues including adware/spyware infection this is where we see the most 'random' problems errors that are occuring because vista cant configure itself properly after converting Xp.

which version are you planning to get? I'm planning to get Vista Ultimate. I ran RC1 before and it was OK. Maybe I'll upgrade next month.
