I guess if I purchased a dual core turbo powered computer and 4gb of ram it might work. SOOOOO let's see $$$$<br /> Vista $300 + dual core processor and motherboard $300 + more ram + $100 = $700. AND then I might need a new video card +$100 and on and on and on.<br /> If you have done the math I will need to invest maybe $500 to upgrade my computer so I can purchase VIsta at $300.

No more cryptic errors: it just works. Damn I should have made the switch years ago. Apple is doing everything they say in their ads. It is no comparison at all. <br /> So, good luck with your campaign. Never ever, will I go back to Microsoft. It is like stepping from a Vauxhall in to a Mercedes. Sorry GM, can't compete with that. What an easy, what a logic, what an unpressedented expierience. A computer working as it should.

As of July 2008, it is a very stable O/S, and by removing UAC and getting a computer with a quad processor and 4 gig of ram, you will have XP on Steroids. Forget all the negative things you are hearing about Vista now, that was yesterday, this is today. I am using Firefox 3.0, and with Vista, it is very stable. I have all the bells and whistles installed on this browser, and it still launches in about 10 seconds.<br /> <br /> I think the actual Vista users that are updating on a regular basis and have a powerful enough computer are pleased. Most of the negative comments seem to come from Apple and Linux users, and "Die-hard" XP users who are content to stay with XP. I would not advise updating an older XP computer Vista.
