I've had a Dell Laptop with vista on for twelve months and had no probs, The only problem I did have was when I wanted to get rid of AOL and go on BT Broadband, AOL kept sending nasty letters, threatening court action even though I'd given them notice, in the end I threatened them with my solicitor and I haven't heard from them since. Vista though is fine for me, must be lucky reading all these post about people have trouble
So this definitely ain't me
