I bought a refurbished Dell laptop with Vista on it. I didn't much care for it and could never get it to talk to my other computers on my home network. I finally loaded Kubuntu Linux it and it has been working great. Also, of note, I maintain a couple web sites of local organizations, and when I review the site stats, the overwhelming majority of visitors are still running XP and IE6. I am not saying that that is smart, just that there still hasn't been a wholesale "upgrade" to Vista. On my Windows computers, I still run Win2000. It is quite stable and does what I need on an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ and 1G of memory. For security, I run ZoneAlarm, Avast!, ThreatFire, and I use Opera for web browsing, all free programs. So far I have not seen any compelling reason to "upgrade" to either XP or Vista. Steve -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
