I have Vista RC2 running on a laptop. It's running a little better than I thought it would in 512mb. I tend to hang back in upgrading these days too. Many businesses still run win2k and will for as long as they can. For my own personal use, when I'm not solving customer problems, for the last 5 or so years I've been running Linux and Windows Server 2003. I'm tired of all the Windows (whatever flavor) security issues. Gentoo on an AMD 4400 X2 (rebuild the entire system from source in under 12 hrs. while I work on other stuff on the same box), can't ask for more.... Yes I have used OSX, HPUX, Solaris, AIX, Xenix, Dos, OS9 etc... Like 'em all even WinMe :) JohnY JohnY To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
