hmm maybe you could do a vista guide or something tom, unless mike has vista. At any rate you can have the old style menus I think in vista which even though its backward in productivity is what I will do if and when I get vista, same goes for security, even if I have to get some weird alegal crap to do it. Call me a stand still old timer but I just can't see why I should bother with all this new stuff if I am already getting buy now. As it is if for whatever reason both these laptops here break I will probably go desktop, unless win7 is any better that is.
