I didn't notice this either. Sure, things were laid out slightly differently but they didn't create any confusion that I recall.

Personally, I have had no issues with Vista at all. Never had a crash, never had any problem whatsoever, other than trying to get some older programs to work with it - but that is to be expected.

I hear all of the horror stories and find them puzzling. I'm perfectly happy with my purchase.

So you spent exrta $$$ to make sure you could run Vista, and for that what exactly did you get in return? What is vista doing for you that XP would not do faster, better, cheaper?

You run Windows XP HOME at your business?

I cry for you.

Nope, didn't really spend any extra money. I bought a laptop, it came with Vista and had enough RAM to run it. So far, it has done everything I've wanted it to do. Would XP work just as well? Perhaps. But it was the same price to load the system with XP as it was Vista, and regardless, I wanted to have more RAM. So I don't feel like I sacrificed anything. And I don't think I am suffering in any way for my decision.

All that extra RAM goes into running the OS. Bleh. I'd rather see the focus on the applications.

Still, XP does have it's limits like the 4GB cap on RAM. Fortunitly the new memory hogging vista raises that limit to..... Oh, wait. Never mind Vista ram is capped at 4GB too.
