I use a couple of elderly (Windows 98 originally) wood design programmes and an ancient database in Works 4.5 quite happily on the Vista machine.	Scouse (83)
638903	2008-02-09 20:33:00	I find Vista has never given me a moment's bother. Possibly aided by not having it. ;)	R2x1 (4628)
638904	2008-02-09 20:37:00	Hi R2x1 - I'm much the same when my neighbour complains of the cost of maintaining his BMW.	Scouse (83)
638905	2008-02-09 20:41:00	Ah - the "feel good feature" with BMW's and Vista :lol: :lol: If you had a neighbour with a V12 Jag, you could feel even better ;)	R2x1 (4628)
638906	2008-02-09 21:39:00	vista can kiss the fattest part of my ass! (edited quote from Peter Griffin) Just formated my drive and reinstalled XP, cause i hate it. XP has so much more customisability (after editing uxtheme.dll) and with a few add on programs you can get a better GUI than Vista too! Vista caused me (maybe cuase i download lots of stuff) nothing but troubles. Maybe when SP1 or 2 comes out. Otherwise go XP SP3 beta!!!	AMD3ALL3THE3WAY3 (116)
638907	2008-02-09 22:31:00	Happily using Vista here. Have ever since it launched a year ago and considered it better than XP back then (still do). First few weeks while in transition I toyed with vLite till I got an install I was happy with, will probably go through the process again for a fresh install with Vista SP1 pretty much out now.	sal (67)
638908	2008-02-09 22:39:00	I use Vista security - something which should have been done ages ago, is finally up to a reasonable standard. That is, as long as you don't turn off UAC!!!! Why am I still taking off masses of spyware from Vista PCs then? These are as is, UAC on, Windows (Useless) Defender on.	pctek (84)
638909	2008-02-09 22:42:00	Why am I still taking off masses of spyware from Vista PCs then? These are as is, UAC on, Windows (Useless) Defender on. It's the operator, rather than the machine. UAC is only useful when people don't blindly click "Allow".	somebody (208)

Defends against What - its' self maybe:p One of the problems Techs see all the time is exactly what Somebody mentioned - "oh I clicked this and that but didn't read what it said" - well durhhhh.

Working on an IT help desk, you have no idea how often I hear this... Though luckily the software and systems I deal with are all the same procedural and technically so these days any error message and symptoms caused by the error I know the cause of etc... Now that I am not gaming on my PC as often as I used to (got a PS3) I am considering installing Vista...	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
