Despite the lengthy delays (years) getting Vista to market, it is very lacking in hardware and software compatibilty. You may incur problems and maybe co$t to update, upgrade or replace with Vista capable stuff. If you can, you may want to dual boot with your XP Pro or even replace Vista with it. Some pundits are predicting 1 to 3 more years for all hardware and software to support VISTA. Have fun. :-)) Don P.S. I wish Dell would replace the lemon they sold me. Replaced hard drive once, DVD burner twice and today the motherboard blew just when I was gonna call on a 3rd DVD burner problem and an extreme system slowdown. Fortunately, I still have about 10 days left on my extended warranty. ----- Original Message ----- From: "rudy" <rudylopeznc@xxxxxxxxx> To: "PCtech" <PCTechTalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 5:00 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Upgrading to Vista - questions.. > I've inorged any Vista advice as I was sticking to XP Pro.
