    not worth it...

    hands up those who rememeber when the whole operating system took up less than the first 128 k of the available 640..

    and how stable was that compared to windoze...

    oh its buggier than hell with lots of "features" to be found... and rumour control has it it leaks more than an ffrs canopy on the first rain of the wet.

    I had a look at it, ran the compatability patch, and it came up with loads of 'issues' - printer drivers, incompatability with McAffe ...........and loads more

    Reminds me of windows ME

    I'm running it on my laptop... quite happy with it over all.

    That said - I get it through work and have been playing with it since Beta 1...

    Not sure I'd rush out and grab it if I actually had to pay for it.

    It seems to run better on my laptop than XP....

    But be prepared for a big install... and you may still be waiting for many programs to catchup and have a Vista compatible version.

    Unless the machine you are talking about is reasonably new I wouldn't bother.

    My laptop is a 2.0gig dual core with 2 gig's of ram.... so I'd be a little ****ed if it didn't run ok....

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
    2003 D2a TD5...gone...
    2000 D2 V8...gone...

    all the extra bits in vista are just poor rips of what has been available in OSX macs for years... :P
