Totally agree Dave. Traded my new one to my daughter for her old XP. Guess I am just to old to change.

The advantage as far as I can see, is that it has nice 64 bit games that XP won't play, but all my old games will now no longer work. It uses more direct paths to open the computer and programs so it is faster, but by and large, there is no advantage that I can see. I am considering formatting the hard drive and starting over with XP again. It is sort of like dogs - Once you have a line near perfection, stay with it and stop changing it. Otherwise you never know what you'll get!
