Hmm, I installed an older version of the fix. Took about 40 minutes total, and rebooted three times. It was installing Windows XP Pro. My system’s snappy and quick now, no annoying questions every three minutes, and while not as pretty, certainly functions. Just something to consider for those who are tired of Vista.

I have Vista on a new computer and not had any problems.

What is it that Vista does so badly?

Wow, is anyone actually using Vista? I always think of Vista and the one button Mac mouse in the same thought. Two stupid, useless things nobody wants or uses.

“The download is approximately 448MB in size...”

So I guess Microsoft is now a big player in broadband?
Because they must expect all their poor customers to have it.

Sign me,
Happy I’ve stayed with Win XP Pro

I have a question.
Does anyone know?

Can you still buy XP?

The reason is, I bought an old server board (ASUS CUR-DLS), which is a dual processor PIII at 1 GIG. I put 2 1/2 Gig of RAM on it.
Nice little setup. But Win2K has a little problem with the USB. XP might have fixed it.

So I’m tryin to find out if I can still get XP. I refuse VISTA. Period. My sister bought a machine and says it’s junk. They don’t even turn the computer on anymore.
