Rule of thumb in out IT department at work don't upgrade for at least a year
after a new product comes out. By then the bugs should be 90% worked out. We are just now starting to go to XP where I work...... Celeste "Handsome Jack Morrison" wrote in message ...

I agree. We ordered a couple of PCs with Vista to see how they would
handle all of our applications at work. It doesn't. All I really see from Vista is a slower version of XP with a few visual effects that look identical to things I've seen from the Linux community at least a year ago that has more errors and runs fewer programs. Nick |

Of more interest to me, (and I'll look it up) is what kind of resources does it demand? WOW!!!! 20 GB of hard drive JUST to support an operating system? * 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor * 512 MB of system memory * 20 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space * Support for DirectX 9 graphics and 32 MB of graphics memory * DVD-ROM drive * Audio Output * Internet access (fees may apply) |

That's pretty much my own rule of thumb, too, Celeste. But I didn't really have a choice this time. I had an older computer finally go belly-up, and I needed to replace it (one can never have enough computers around here, for some reason). Unfortunately, I couldn't find one with XP in the timeframe I was forced to work with. So I got one with Vista (a top-of-the-line HP laptop), figuring I'd probably experience problems with it, but that I could live with them until Vista eventually got its act together. I should have known better, because when I talked to the sales guy about wanting to install the anti-virus/spam/malware programs myself, he said I couldn't do that. They needed to be "force installed," through some kind of Vista "backdoor," (reassuring, huh?) because no anti-virus programs were yet 100% compatible with (not even Microsoft's *own* anti-virus program!), and God forbid that I'd actually want to use a Microsoft mouse, because none were 100% compatible with Vista out of the box - (you have to go to MS's web site and get a special download for it, etc.) I thought I could deal with all of that, but I was wrong. I've seen more "Blue Screens Of Death" in just the last two days than I've seen in my entire life. We are just now starting to go to XP where I work...... I loooooooove XP. XP was a friend of mine. And Vista is no XP. AAAAARRRGGHH! Celeste "Handsome Jack Morrison" wrote in message .. .

Gee, no surprise. I've heard anectodal reports from friends at companies who are testing Vista that it needs 4 GB minimum of RAM to run their applications. That's crazy. -- Lynne |
