I know different people running 7 and they are happy too. It's that whole first Gen OS/Vista cluster that has me worried regardless.

IF I were to buy something with Vista I'd just dump XP over it. But I'll sit tight and wait for 7, since it's coming out in a few days and I wasn't going to buy it this week.

One person? Dude you need to get out more.

Oh, and you can make that count at least 2.

Hasn't it been MS's history that they get every other OS (mostly) right?

Working backwards:
Vista: Sucks
XP: Not bad
ME/2000/whatever other name they used*: sucked
98: not bad

* Yes, I know these were different OS's and that there some other ones worked in there. But in my conversations with other propeller-heads, they tend to get lumped together.

Good point Kevy.

Since I am waiting anyway I'll be able to hear initial reviews from non-techies. The only people I know who liked Vista were techie people.

So, back to what I should do.

I think I am going to stick with my "basic desktop with a huge HD" to be used as a file server" plus "laptop for daily use" plan. And buy a TB external drive for redundancy/back up.

Though I could just get by with keeping all my music on the laptop (with a large HD) and an external drive. I just want the second computer to run my printer, networking stuff, blah blah blah. Just easier.

If a genuine propeller-head mixes up Windows Me and Windows 2000, they need to turn in their beanie! Windows Me was a POS but Windows 2000 was wonderful. The letter being aimed at the corporate/IT crowd, the former being their "consumer version".
