[pchelpers] Re: Vista vs XP

I tested all versions of Vista -- I am operating Vista Ultimate and Vista 
Business Edition-- Vista is up to date you can  learn from the help files 
with each  new feature in Vista and check out the Welcome Center you can 
learn a lot from there I find Vista extremely stable very soon they will be 
releasing SP1 from WU and once you update you will find it more enhancing 
that's all I can say about that for now. . Another thing if your 
hardware(printer or others)  will not work with Vista you can download 
virtual pc 2007 free  from Microsoft site and install  XP  on the same 
partition -- you can use your peripherals to your heart's content I like the 
Vista format...network is great, better security  its appearance is 
different  When things are subject to change some persons don't like change 
they find it very difficult - but on the other hand life is all about change 
isn't it. Computers change as time goes on so do Operating Systems  and 
hardware  oftentimes you can go to the  hardware or program websites and 
update for Vista-- I have a HP photo smart 1000 wont work with Vista I wrote 
to HP -- they answered that my printer was way too old its about 12 yrs old 
hehehe!!! its still running great  with XP I have an HP Office inkjet Combo 
its fine with Vista I can Ethernet, and network and WI-FIBluetooth it  . For 
me I have multiple OS's  I run them all with no difficulty.  Old dogs can 
learn and apply  in fact many of them try very hard <G> Personally I like 
change - and challenges there is an old saying where there is a will there 
is always a way -- On this list there is lots of help all you have to do is 
ask  also too all you have to do is Google Vista help and you will get an 
immense of information the best place is Microsoft's sites  or their techy 
sites.   Os's are stepping stones-- My favorite Os was Windows 2000Pro  --  
Have a great day Jackie
