That is how I ended up with Home Premium - it came pre-installed on a new system. My first instinct was to blow it away and put XP and Ubuntu in its place, especially with the UAC stuff always asking you if you are sure you want to do things. After I shut off UAC, Vista and I got along better. Still, with Aero, ~1.5 GB of the 3 GB of RAM on the system is always in use. I am reluctant to turn Aero off only because it is "pretty" - it certainly doesn't help you get your work done. LOL... So far so good with applications... I also can re-boot to Ubuntu on the system which is unimaginably fast. Ubuntu in VmWare 6 works great also on the system. The CPU is a core 2 quad. Once the newness of Vista wears off I will probably spend most of my time in Ubuntu...
