>From everything I've read, Windows Vista is Windows XP with more security stuff turned on breaking drivers and programs but doing a better job at security. Good in some respects, bad in others. Since playing HD DVD's isn't a big deal on this Mac, I don't need Vista. Security Now has had podcasts about Vista along with Windows Weekly(??). I did something similar. I bought a Mac & Parallels this past summer and went to Best Buy and bought a copy of Windows XP. I had lots of problems installing it and tech support said "We think you have an upgrade copy..." I looked and I had bought an upgrade copy. I had never noticed. Best Buy wouldn't take it back (no exchange plus cash if for the right one if they would've had any). So I ordered one from Buy.com, ten minutes after I clicked buy, I realized I needed some stuff from amazon.com, bought it there, went back to buy.com to cancel, clicked cancel, they said okay. A day and half later, I get an email saying "Oooops, the order had already gone into the system. Contact us for an RMA and we will take it back." I'm still waiting for the stuff for amazon.com to show up, I don't remember what is slowing things down, but in the end I'm going to either have two copies of Windows XP Home or have to hassle with sending one back. Long and short, I'm going to have a copy of Windows XP Home here if you are interested. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Managing senior programmers is like herding cats! ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
