Windows Vista DOES suck that much.  I have two copies.  Home basic, and
home premium.  The basic version I finally just put on my son's
computer.  He's in college for programming and the version is something
he will have to work with.  The premium version is, at the moment, being
wiped from my laptop.    Simply put, the system simply is difficult to
work with and takes a little to long to boot.  Besides, the wifi seems a
little worse than XP.

Hooray dell!
