For all its faults, Vista hasn't crashed on me once during the eighteen months or so I've been using it.  That's got to count for something!

Well, I also have to admit, it came installed on my laptop, and I haven't bothered to change it.  I did have a problem with some Windows Updates early on, and it does seem very slow, compared to XP (Firefox takes at least 30 seconds to load), but I guess that could also be down to the laptop specs, as it wasn't a very expensive one.

It obviously runs OK on some machines.  I can't say it's impossible to work with, but given the choice, in hindsight, I would have preferred XP on the laptop.

Vista has always worked fine for me.
Its time I wiped it and reinstalled as I have accumulated a lot of stuff on it thats no longer needed, since its been running the same installation since November 2007  :o:

If I get a day or two clear soon I may give windows 7 a try as I got that last month.

GRRRRR!!!

My laptop came with home basic installed. I recently downloaded SP2 - must have been incredibly bored - now my 230GB HDD has been reduced to 170 GB.
OK, there's about 6GB of music and two or three films, but where has my free disc space gone? And I've removed the windows.old. file.

Anyway, I might consider windows 7 IF I can play my simulators on it. That should leave my HDD with about 1GB..................
