Two words... "Vista" and "don't"
and from a song "if I could turn back time"...well if I could, I'd reformat the thing and install XP!!!
the little bells and whistles (which I grant it has a few) can't make up for the program incompatabilities, dozens of hours lost in trying to get all the programs I used to have working on XP no problem working again on this... some never to be recovered... $ wasted on hardware I've bought that worked on XP that doesn't on vista...not to mentioned the constant and annoying asking for permission to do just about everything (found out how to turn that off now
).
