Actually I when I got the Business version and installed it, I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked it. It took me awhile to let go of W2K in favor of XP, but once I did, there was no looking back! :-) Sure there are a couple of things that I didn't like, such as, I now have to go out and buy a more expensive sound card because SB doesn't support the Live 5.1 card any more, thus no Vista drivers. I like Kerio firewall, but it won't install under Vista so I have to use Zone Alarm. :-O I have also found that Vista likes it better if you install it on a primary (active) partition when dual booting. :-( XP is the primary OS on this machine and since I have sound card issues, I have to keep XP because that is where my games are located! :-) The overall speed though is what REALLY surprised me though. I have 2gb of ram so that helps a LOT, and I haven't tried the ready boost feature, but that's suppose to speed things up too from what I heard.
