Re: Windows 7

People bag on Vista because of a technical term called...the bandwagon effect. They hear it sucks from others or from reviews and then they blindly concur that it sucks, and in doing so, join the band wagon. I've been using Vista for almost a year now on my Vaio laptop, never had a problem with drivers or software. I will admit Vista does require a lot of processing power for all the fancy gadgets and effects, and so lower end computers that people get for cheap will probably leave them waiting on it. Changing the settings to just what you need and upgrading the ram are good ways to speed it up. On a 2.4ghz Intel dualcore with 4 gb of ram, startup time < 20 seconds and I can run all CAD programs I need to and other programs without a hitch. Connected to all my old devices that were pre Vista and even pre XP old. I do plan on getting a Mac laptop though just for the aesthetic qualities, I must admit they are quite sexy. But I do plan to continue running MS desktops because I can build them and I don't need to spend an arm and leg to upgrade the ram.
