XP faster then Vista.. So is DOS 6.22
It`s call progress. More resources required - OK. 4Gig of RAM cost the same as 256M 5 years ago.
I agreed with Cap on one point.. They released it too early.
I have Vista64 on my ThinkPad.... Not a single crash in 2 month. I have XP pro on my 4 monitors desktop for 4 years now, not a single crash (Install date 9/29/2004) and I have more programs installed then 99% of average users.
