Vista blows
XP is really like a usable version of 2000, since most software works. If you’re anything like me, just turn everything off when you get it running…I like my windows computers to be super bare bones with no bullshit…“classic” mode or whatever plus all the cool looking shit turned off.
Unrelated note: I bought a second laptop for work a few months ago (and some play since CS doesn’t work on mac too great) and it came with Vista. Worst OS ever, took me 3-4 hours to find drivers for XP though…most of the shit was so new they didn’t have XP drivers out…ended up only losing bluetooth after hours of trying to force drivers to work though. Pain in the ASS!
