Who here uses vista, i have decided to reinstall it on my Dell laptop and i actually quite like it, with all the updates from SP1 and newer drivers, it actually works great. I do not know why i hated it before but now i actually, and i am shocked that i admit this, like it a bit. Just feels better than Xp for some reason, just something about it i cannot put my finger on. It is not as minor as the change from 2000 Pro to Xp, it is something deeper down that i like more. The UI grows on you, and it actually works quite well. When i went back to Xp i actually missed the search bar in the start menu and the ability to run stuff driectly from it.

Nvidia Geforce 8600m-GT 256mb on a PCI Express bus

2GB System Ram

250 GB HDD

Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 (SP1 helps)

17" WIde Screen LCD 1440x900 Resolution so it is a weird 16:10 instead of 16:9 as is common for US Wide Screen.
