The people who responded to you did a fine job - no one really knows of anything important or useful that distinguishes Vista from XP. For some people, Vista will work better for them - most of them are people without much legacy software to move over - they can buy a new machine and not add any software but what comes with it. I tried it pretty heavily for 30 days, then dumped it. For me, it was too much extra work keeping things running, with little benefit. On 8/7/07, Michael A. Wosnick wrote: > > Yep.
