Why are you taking care of it, why isn’t Dell fixing it if it’s a hardware issue?

I am already a baller and have enough game systems. No sense in buying a PSX to play old PSX favorites.

ya vista runs perfect for me. Weird. Probably depends on the applications. What makes people think microsoft “7” will be any better upon release? When 7 comes out you guys will just jump onboard the vista sp2 bandwagon and start trashing 7. Thats just the cycle of microsoft operating systems it seems…

I think all the shortcomings of Vista will be addressed in #7 or at least that would be the logical assumption.

just like all the shortcomings in 98 would addressed in ME. And all of ME addressed in XP. And all of XP’s shortcomings addressed in Vista. Ya…that makes sense.

Well…It does make sense. But its not even close to how it works unfortunately

Zero problems here too.

Visual Studio 2005 has some major quirks though. Waiting till next month to get the latest version hoping some it is smoothed out.
