Vista came out with some Microsoft patches which was supposed to help fix some of the original problems from what I was told, but I still demand that I keep and use XP Professional series on my systems. It is smooth. Of course this is from a person that went from DOS 3.0 to Windows 95 and then to XP Professional. I have a brother that owns a computer company that builds custom computers and does corporate networking, etc... He is the one that keeps me running and a little up to date.

It's amazing how far we have come with the personal computer in just a short time. I can remember my first home computer made by TANDY (Radio Shack) that ran off a cassette tape player as the memory source. It really could not do to much. Now they have hand held models that would do more then the old rooms of computers of 40 years ago.... Some might be too young to remember, but computers used to fill a room, and you had to keep that room near freezing (well it was really cold in there)to operate them. And all these used to do was run production and spread sheets...
