oh and don't get me wrong.. vista is alot better in some ways.. it's easier to use, more 'helpful' to the average user (a very good percent of people who buy acomputer, have no idea about protection, it doesn't work as well as i'm sure they thought they were goign to do [it's alot more annoying then helpful] but you can plainly see hwo they were trying to implement a security system.... this non piracy crap is well... crap so far lol.. i've yet to get any warning about it, or anything.. i can still use p2p programs, bittorrents, everything, perfectly fine with no problems...

for someone going from OS to OS it takes a bit to learn.. (alot is redesigned or moved around, everything on XP is still there, just in a diffrent spot) but as far as OS's go, it's the easiest to use so far... and i've been using comps since the one before windows 95.... 3.1? i can't remember the name, but i know a friend a good whiel back, had a comp, the first i was ever on matter of fact.. then i got a hand me down from my aunt with 95... then, got my own comp with ME... then got another with XP (my last one) and now of course vista..

vista is the cleanest and easiest to use, and in time i think it can be as good as XP... but as of right now, i only suggest it to those with patients or who understands i'ts the os's fault and not ther comps or they're gonna be running to a computer shop or the help line like 10 times a day lmao....
