It's funny.......I bought three licenses of Vista Home Premium when it first came out. After about a month of use, I took them all off their computers and went back to Win XP. I absolutely hated Vista. It wouldn't run half my programs...was terribly intrusive for protection...on and on. I recently bought a Dell XPS M1530 that has Vista Home Premium on it. I planned to dump it and go to Win XP. I got the computer and started playing with it. I called a friend who is a computer repairman and got instructions on how to get rid of all the security crud. I also downloaded ALL the Vista updates including SP1. After using it for a couple of weeks now........I love it! The computer is a dream. All the programs that didn't run under Vista before, run fine now. I'm seriously thinking of loading Vista again on my main computers.
