So... Vista..... 2 years and 1 service pack later.

I brought Vista on launch, used it for 10 months and then decided to go to XP. My PC then was socket 939 3800+X2, 2GB DDR and and 8600. It sure could handle it but anwyays I have been back on Vista for coming up to a year now. It is the best OS IMO. I do boot Ubuntu which I use when I am feeling experimental and run XP in VMs for messing with like downloading viruses and the like however Vista all the way uintil 7 hits the shops

There are some things you can whack into the run dialog I tried once when I had that issue.

I'm on XP x64 edition (SP2). I'll give Win7 a shot when I get around to it though.

I'm running XP on my desktop, and Vista Home Premium on my laptop. Don't really have a preference. I need to burn my copy of Windows 7 beta though so I can try it out.. Maybe this weekend?

I do really like Vista, however, the networking is *beep* *beep* *beep* *beeeeeeeeeeep* retarded. The simple act of sharing a drive for access across my network turns out to be a nightmare and an endless Google adventure to which no answer is obtained. Despite the fact that my settings are 100% exact to the previously working shared downloads drive, simply changing the partition and re-sharing is enough to eradicate the sharing capabilities of my entire system.

Thanks but no thanks Vista, I am back to XP until Windows 7 is released.

Sorry to tell ya mate. Windows 7 Networking is going to be almost exactly like Vista's.
