| | | I run Vista on 1 GB of RAM with few problems. In fact one thing I have noticed is that programs that get hung up for awhile tend to recover more often than not. Compared to previous versions of Windows OS, that is a serious difference (at least for me).

I use XP...and don't want to change. Recently downgraded a new computer from Vista to XP. Maybe, I just don't have patience to learn something new, but for 3 weeks VISTA made me  ,  ,  and

| | | Vista...just say no. Vista is what pushed me to Ubuntu Linux. Haven't looked back.
Few of the Vista promises have been delivered over a year later. We'll be running XP at the church until I can no longer support it, which will be a long time, or until we switch to Linux. If Power Church ran under Wine, we'd be using Linux now.
