I'm not touching it for at least 12 months. We bought a new pc last week - just a cheap thing for one of the kids and it came preinstalled with vista. After a week of blue screen errors I'm about ready to throw the damn thing out of the window. Ended up having to reinstall vista twice and then update every driver on the system - even though being a brand new system you'd think it'd already be up to date *mutters and growls some more*

It does look pretty tho :p

I can honestly say, I have not had one blue screen, yet,
I didnt know bout usb drives and more ram though, any info i can read about this please?
/me touches wood

Here's a couple of threads made regarding the lovely BSOD situations for your reading pleasure ;)

They're not all recent threads but they pretty much cover everything I had to do to get this stupid thing to work correctly.

cheers will have a look :)

Interesting lol....I was a lucky one, me not had any issues like that :)
If ya want to know what hardware i got so you can upgrade/downgrade let me know pmsl.... :p

*blows raspberry* Keep laughing, I'm sure you'll get hit by it at some point <grin>

More than likely, but as a safe guard i have used Acronis Image and backedup from where i am now :)

Probably wise :)

I tried Vista on my test box but did not get acquainted (did not like) the new user interface switched back to XP

I think its an aquired taste, thats what did it for me was the inteface, that and the speed, oh and everything else lol

*hugs OS X*
