Huh!? XP is klunky and wastes resources. Puppy Linux works better for
most routine tasks.


Yes, but Vista takes the cake as the worst piece of crap to come out of
Richmond yet. I'm surprised noone's taken them to court yet for selling a
clearly unfinished product as anything but a beta.


I work with Windows all day. That's why we have a Mac at home.

That's funny. I have three computers running on Vista utilizing them playing
music, movies, word processing, document saving, and about every application
you can use. No problems here just as long as you really know what you are
doing. Maybe its not the software causing the problem but the user not
knowing how to properly operate the computer.


Probably get the same performance with Windows XP but with Hundreds
of dollars less hardware
