There is a great deal of learning curve on Vista. I have Vista

formatted and install freash Vista and no problems installing all my
apps. There was a few kinks, but was easily resolved by
understanding
the Vista Security settings.
I love it now...but sooner or later you guys needs to switch to
vista,
because Microsoft is coming out with a newer OS updates next year and
possibly the next level OS to replace Vista.
I believe MS is trying to convert people and they hear people saying
they like Windows XP interface and hate Vista, so I can surmise that
MS
will blend the two together to give you dual options on the interface
rather than strictly 1 type of interface.

You are correct in that "upgrades" from one MS OS to a later one is
not
the way to go.- Hide quoted text -

Not directed to you Harry, just catching up on the posts. I run Vista
and aside from a couple of software packages I had to wait a few weeks
to come up with Vista compatable stuff, I have had few if any
operating system problems, no crashes at all that I have noticed. I
have it as OEM on a Toshiba sattelite pro. Vista home edition...

I don't have any "VISTA problems," either.
The funny thing is that the only ones with VISTA problems are the ones
who never used it. ;-)

I am using WinXP.

'nuff said. ;-)


NP, but I could have saved you some big bucks if you had listened to me
about your impeller.

We'll just chalk this up as yet another subject about which you know

No, everything I have posted about Windows Vista and Windows XP I know is
100% correct.


Because someone else said so? Do you have any original thoughts?



Yes

Don't mean to interrupt but JimH, I think the "whoosh" was on you.

Not really. If you followed his previous comments, including those in
other threads regarding VISTA, he indeed had a problem with it based on
what others have said.

Key words..........."what others have said"

A whoosh back to you.


Ok. I concede. You win.

BTW, I don't have any Vista problems either.

I am also sure the only reason she/I or anyone has ever had a problem
installing any hardware on Vista is human error.

I am sure you know much more about computers than those who make their
living operating networks and reviewing computers and OS.

Did I miss anything?

Did you read any of the directions that might relate to the proper set
up of a printer?
I followed the directions that came with the printer, but the printer
install CD really made the entire install process a step by step
process, and it asked you for your version of Windows (included Vista as
an option) . When the printer started to have problems, I followed the
trouble shooting process using Vista help, it did not have any solution
available in the troubleshooting guide that was appropriate to our
problem. So, I updated Vista (it had already installed all updates)
double checked the printer driver (it had the correct driver) then
reinstalled the printer program and reinstalled Office 2003.

At that point, it was still printing correctly only half the time, so I
printed out her resume by reversing the order of the print. She had her
resume printed, which was her immediate concern. I also tried to print
out a web page, it would not print the last page of the web site. Her
printer was working half the time, and told her she really should take
advantage of the service contract she had already paid for. If they
were not able to correct the problem, she will let me know.

FWIW, my brother, who just left, bought a new machine with Vista installed.
He loaded MS Outlook, but it had crashing problems with Vista. He got the
new Outlook 2007. It crashes with Vista. He's now going to try Mozilla and
Thunderbird (or whatever it is) and see if that works with Vista.

He advises that Vista is a piece of crap. But, he doesn't have near the
expertise of some of the folks here.


Does your brother's computer expertise exceed that of you and Reggie
combined?

My 14-year-old nephew installed VISTA on his laptop and runs the Office
2007 suite just fine, including Outlook.

Interesting that your brother apparently got a "standalone" copy of
Outlook 2007.

Does the rest of Office 2007 work for your brother, or did he just
install Outlook 2007?
