Well, I am planning to order another high-end PC shortly, and it will
definitely be a Vista Ultimate box. I don't know how much more smoothly a
computer can run than the one I'm using at the moment. It has been nothing
but smooth since it showed up at my front door last September from Dell.
To each his/her own I guess.

Hi, I agree with John regarding xp and vista.
I have a high-end machine running Vista, and my brother has the same
machine
running xp, and it is amazing to see the difference. Even though vista is
more secured, it is a pain to worked with compared with xp, especially if
it
is a new user, if I have my way, I will recommend any day xp for a new
user,
and wait for vista to grow-up/mature. Correct me if I am wrong, but apart
from some crazy changes with applications such as in window mail, they
have
taken away features such as pushing the window key and pressing u twice to
shut down, and window + u to call narrator which I feel is essential for
us
all at some point. I know many many sighted advance users who complains
and
rage when using vista. So, if security is the issue here, then vista is
the
way to go, but if smooth operation is what one is looking for, then xp it
is.
Regards,
Raj

Are you denying the fact that Vista requires a far more powerful
machine than XP?
That was the basis of my advice. What is so bad about it?
Besides, it is widely agreed here that Window-Eyes runs slower on
Vista. It is only sensible to wait a little longer before moving over to
Vista.
Please kindly read the mesages carefully before attacking them
