Hmmm, Several manufacturers, including Dell, are offering XP again. XP is to windows as democracy is to government, very bad, but all other forms are so much worse.
Different "flavors" of Vista have different levels of security, so it is not surprising tht you are having a problem and someone else with Vista is not. Having a laptop with Vista can be annoying and embarrassing (suppose you are showing a businessman some spreadsheeets for your new startup, well away from hotspots, and Vista decides it is time to verify). But if it is not your choice, talk to the notebook manufacturer. Many of them are offering XP very quietly. If you need to persuade yourself to make the switch, try www.badvista.org to learn how thoroughly that OS invades your privacy and 'protects' you from legitimate software while still being wide-open to exploits. For example, I can install, but not run, Quanta Gold on Vista, but SciTE (which does not use the registry), runs just fine. Neither are on the approved software list back at Microsoft. Also note that the "approved" list can be a weapon. Suppose some software manufacturer "discovers" a security flaw in version 3.012 of his accounting software and issues 3.013a for the modest fee of $29.95 and withdraws approval from 3.012? Think you have recourse? Read the EULA you agreed to. > > Well I got a new laptop that has vista on it (not my choice).
