Glad I'm holding off Vista. I wonder if a lot of people who installed Vista, and didn't know bout available betas, reverted to older systems or reinstalled XP to log onto their companies' VPN netork.

If it weren't for Vista life would be too good, I'd be happy and people would suspect something is wrong with me. :) Cheers Tim... I need something like Vista to give me something to moan about.

XP Pro, of course. no way I'm gonna waste my time - and the company's - debugging silly incompatibility problems put there to annoy the competition. been there, done that. one of the reasons why I never ran Win95 in any of my computers. maybe in another 12 months or so I'll revisit the Vista thing. until then, quite frankly I couldn't be bothered: not enough new to make it worth the hassle. dave:

"the thing that is baffling me is how impatient folks are to get into yet another cycle of “oh this doesn’t work, gotta pay for another upgrade…”!" I agree with you, but also agree with Tim on this one. I just need a more powerful machine (my laptop seems to be on it's last legs - after a year!) and the Vista was just a side-effect. Having said that, I *am* concerned that this is a machine exclusively for work so let's hope I don't run into too many problems. I have better things to do with my time. And, on that note, thanks for the link Dave! Noons said …

I was absolutely stunned. Good prices too. Of course, you're in England, so I'm not sure how the delivery would be there. =) I got this one, beefed up with 2GB RAM and a better video card (Quadro FX 512MB) and a 7200RPM 120GB hard drive: http://www.discountlaptops.com/index.php?section=specs&model_id=1362&category_id=34&category_theme=c1

I wouldn't bother upgrading an existing machine, but by the same token, I wouldn't downgrade a new machine for the sake of it either. :) Cheers Tim...
