I'm afraid of vista - Page 3

I've been using Vista for about 3 weeks now and have had zero issues with it. I don't love it, as I don't see much of an improvement over XP. Still, it has handled everything remarkably well so far. Even the Sims2 runs flawlessly on my laptop, which I didn't expect.

That would be very cool. We've got 2 copies of vista coming (eventually) from Dell and I would love to be able to run one on my system. I seem to meet the requirements but have one particular program that we were told would not run. (by the manufacturer.) Maybe they are just stupid (not all that far fetched - it's industry software and they... well let's just say it's possible they just didn't know how.) about how they are trying to do it.

That would be cool.
