I have been a PC gamer for as long as i can remember and have used vista home premium since buying and modding my pc a number of years ago.

Vista has given me nothing but hassle.

Its incredibly system intensive or simply put "Greedy"

I have 4gb of OCZ high performance ram, Vista takes 2 of those gb for itself leaving me with 2.

It crashes, locks up, is extremely slow on a high performance and well maintained machine.

makes a mess of your system, deletes things without permission, asks for administrative permission for everything.

Has a large number of useless updates almost daily.

It is impossible to locate and back up save game files, even if you manage to locate and back them up they wont work.
The list of cons for vista go on and on and on and on.

The pros- The user interface looks nice lol thats it.

I changed back to xp just yesterday after yet another vista moment. Ive washed my hands with it.

Good luck

Hi Ronnie, I have heard of it and have watched the video about it on Mircrosoft's website, but I have yet to know anyone who has tried it.

My new PC is like something out of Star Trek

I love it.

Cheers, Ade.

At first, I too was weary of Vista. While there are some issues with the OS, it's not that bad. I'm fully converted now and begin to miss Vista when working on an XP OS.

PS: The middle monitor is a 26" HDLCD & the monitor on the right is a 21" LCD, all three of the monitors provide you with a fairly decent sized desktop.
