It's said to be a fairly different UI that many hardcore Wintel people may not tolerate. I held out as long as I could before switching from Win2000 to XP, and I'll probably hold out as long as I can before switching to Vista. Indeed. I did the same thing at work. Then last january I upped my entire network with new dual proc Xenons and XP Pro. Now granted I run two proprietary OS's on top of XP, but it holds steady. After all, it's only when Microsoft starts shipping a product that the real beta testing begins, and it usually takes a couple years to weed out the most egregious flaws. Besides, this PC is only 3 years old, and its 2.8GHz P4 is overkill for what I do. A couple years from now, everything will be multiple cores up the wazoo and fully capable of running the most bloated of bloatware.  The nice thing about that is that even a low-end PC will be able to render video, multi-track music files and 3D raytraced animation quite quickly compared to today. The average person home power user can even rely on lower-end hardware for the average jobs. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
