I'm with you phishphreek; it'll be a while 'til I run Vista. In large part
because I run hand-me-down hardware I inherit from customers and
clients. I can get XP to sing on a 500mhz, 512mb PIII Thinkpad. From
everything I've read, I can't imagine getting Vista to run on my latest
piece of hardware, a two-year-old Toshiba Satellite (2.4ghz P4, 700+
ram, shared video).

It's funny; I've gone corporate (never thought I'd do that). Been working
on and off for some big outfits on contract (no piece of cake, a rather
hardscrabble way to live), and to a "T", these big outfits are only now
rolling out of Windows 2000 and into XP Pro on the desktop. Chit, this
one I'm working at now still has a couple of legacy 3.11 boxes (!).

The only thing driving Vista RIGHT NOW is MS's monopoly on the retail desktop market...that, and all the ID10T's that think they know something about PC's...
