Right. And you have just explained why Vista will never be embraced by most
XP users. As it stands, Microsoft offer a free upgrade to Vista to those who
purchase a computer with XP later this year, as well as next year.
Windows Vista is chaotic, Oliver, and if you cannot see this (Ballmer and
Gates know this very well) then you are in denial. Most trolls rush into
this newsgroup due to fear (from the inevitable need to switch) and an
inferiority complex that leads to vulgarities.
Best wishes,
Roy
