I don't think my home PC would handle Vista anyway..
It's a P4 1.8GHz, with 504 MB Ram... Although, I thinking of buying a new PC Shortly and giving this one to the kids, I'll still stick with XP for at least another year... | ||||||||

My desktop will handle it but will probabley run a lot slower
 There is no way my laptop will run Vista :-? New Operating Systems = Purchase of Faster Hardware = Kerching for Intel & AMD (KERCHING is the sound of a cash register) Mike... | ||||||||

Seriously tho, I don't suppose it is a load of rubbish, it's just that it is impossible to write software without bugs (there are just too many different scenarios in the real world to test for every one) so, what happens is, once the software has been shipped and it's been running on the publics pc's for a while, the bugs that the users report will be patched.. eventually, over a period of time, the OS will become more or less bug free... So, it's better to wait until all the teething trouble has been ironed out... Also, it sounds as if Vista is very resource intesive and was written for the latest hardware, so unless you've got a brand new machine with the latest CPU and loads of memory, it's probably not a good idea to upgrade anyway... | |||||||||

The second release of Win 98 was actually very stable and mainly bug free... (I still have an old P2 at home running win 98)
Windows ME, I have to admit, was rubbish!!!! Hopefully, Microsoft have learned from there mistakes | ||||||||
