Hmmmm. Just about everyone I know who uses Win 7 says it is a

Vista sucked, I think that was a pretty well known thing. It was so

AKA rolling back to XP for anyone who bought it.



Hey that's not a bad idea. My wife just bought a new Mac and is willing to give me her vista machine to take to work (as if I'd really need it) BUT. going to XP wouldn't bee bad at all.



I doubt the XP offer still exists from MS but they have seemed to back

off of the hardware matching they used to do to authorize an

installation.

The question is whether they would authorize it at all after next

week. I doubt they want to be sued so I bet it is going to be a free

for all. You just need a valid 25 digit code.

Well, even if not, I'd probably be ok with it. I have dinked around with her computer before, and for the hit 'n'miss skidding around i do I got along with it fine.
