I have vista and when i have problems i just go back and restore it back a few days to when it was working properly. I have also learned not to let anyone else work on my computer because they always seem to mess it up worst then it was before. vista has a restore feature where it saves at different times and you can go back say for example maybe a month or two ago to when it worked fine. i was afraid of doing that because i had added pics of my kids between then and it didnt get rid of my pics. if that doesnt work i think vista has a help feature also.

I guess XP has the same feature? You can also restore to settings that it runs fine.

i have to agree. vista has a lot of problems compared to windows xp. stability-wise, i'd pick windows xp. however, vista offers a lot more than xp. i'm a vista user and i would rate if 3/5. =)

You forget that when XP came out that system was full of bugs. and still has some but most have been worked out. Now MS has a new OS out and it was full of bugs, but most have been worked out. and to Me Vista Rocks with a 5/5 rating

Yes I am using windows vista (Business) Edition. I love it and there are no problems for me. if you are using IE you might want to change to FireFox which is what I am using

That is actually one reason I don't have much upgrade to my computers. Each operating system have bugs, or any other programs. That is why software developers have the upgrade or updates once in a while. I never tried Vista as of the moment. And maybe I will not. I am sticking with Win2K for this I guess is the best for networking, and it's pretty much better than the others in terms of security. I guess you can still go back to XP if you really want it. Just buy CD installer for it. Guess this help...
