"Thanks for that answer."

You're welcome.

Here's some interesting breaking news about Vista - I predicted that some flaws would be found in the 1st month  after release - I was right.  That has happened with most of MS OSes.

Flaws Are Detected in Microsoft’s Vista

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24 — Microsoft is facing an early crisis of confidence in the quality of its Windows Vista operating system as computer security researchers and hackers have begun to find potentially serious flaws in the system that was released to corporate customers late last month.

On Dec. 15, a Russian programmer posted a description of a flaw that makes it possible to increase a user’s privileges on all of the company’s recent operating systems, including Vista. And over the weekend a Silicon Valley computer security firm said it had notified Microsoft that it had also found that flaw, as well as five other vulnerabilities, including one serious error in the software code underlying the company’s new Internet Explorer 7 browser.

A thread about this was started earlier this morning.

Here's the link to that thread:  Surprise - NOT! Flaws Detected In Microsoft's Vista
