Thumbs down

oh Bobbi how my oldest son shares your sentiments

his story in brief:

he had a laptop purchased from HP that crashed non stop because of overheating and failed hard drives

after 3 years of paying for extended warranties to have them continuously take it back for repairs blah blah blah
they eventually agree it's a lemon and so say they will give him a new one

happy kid till...................

new one arrives with Vista cuz that is MS enforcement on all new HP laptops. Thankfully they had installed all the basic software on it for him so he dint have to upgrade etc....but.....he is unable to run much of his speciality stuff on it nor can he download the drivers he needs he uses a lot of advanced digital music programs for his college major, senior year

he says Vista alone runs on sooooo much 'puter juice that it is a nightmare

his list of anti Vista complaints grows longer and longer by the day.......

we have stayed with XP on all the rest of our computers
