And that pretty much says it all. The largest customers, with the
most technical expertise and testing resources, do not yet consider it
ready for prime time.
Wait a minute - didn't I already say that?
Nothing new about that. Many of the "largest" customers held off on XP
until SP1 was released.
I'm running VISTA SP1 (beta). I guess it is ok to say that.
As I said, you love to tinker with your computer. Vista is a great OS
for someone who enjoys playing with Beta Software.

I bought a new laptop, BIG MISTAKE cuz it has Vista. Vista is a
disaster, slow, cranky, filled with crap I dont need, pure garbage. I
wish I'd bought a mac.

If you have an old install disk of WinXp, you can reformat your hard
drive and get rid of all the spyware, freeware, trialware and bloatware
that most companies put on their computer today, and install a WinXP.

Dell is one of the worst companies for loading their computer with stuff
you don't want and didn't ask for. They make a ton of money loading
your computer with that crap. If you check the start up registry it is
amazing how much garbage they put in there that just applifies the
problem with Vista. While you can delete the items from your registry,
too often they have it set up to reinstall the items automatically when
you reboot.

My last computer did not have a lot of freeware and trialware, but I
still reformatted the hardrive and only installed the software I wanted.
On my mothers computer I was lazy, I just uninstalled the software I
didn't want, deleted the items in the start up registry I didn't want,
and then ran registry mechanic to clean up the registry. Not the best
method, but it did make one hell of a difference.
