I would love to get rid of the pop up asking me if I really want to do what I want to do but other than that and the fact that some messages I delete in Windows mail actually disappear rather than stay in the Delete file so I can find them if I need to, I like Vista. I have one computer with XP and one with Vista. I just got the old XP hooked up to the internet and only half the updates will install. So I guess one is as big a pain in the a$$ as another.
