you know you can expect that from m$ all of their eula and windows activation and bull it was hard enough for me to go with windows xp when it came out i waited just for the bugs to get fixed and then i bought it and installed it after activating then installing my video card drivers and wtf reactivating because the driver update triggered the activation again i went to windows update and wtf 80 updates at the time i had dial up and it took like 2 hr then i had to reboot and the f***ing drivers set my screen to 800x600 littel big for a 20" and mostly thats m4 fault so i took my chances and this christmas i got myself a new computer with windows vista home premuim preloaded so i bought a win xp pro disc and loaded it in my new pc removing vista like i care about the side bar and the areo you can download that all you can download the side bar and the vista theme and flip 3d and thats what i did so i took my xp based machine that looks like vista and put it to the test with my buddys vista based computer and it's the same computer same amout of ram same prosessor i bought it for him then i bought mine so their the same and my xp based machine beat his in supporting more hardware and games my xp maching can take an old game like monster truck madnees 2 but vista can't even if you set the compatibility on the exe right i think that compatibility is a bunch of bull i don't think it even works. so i want to know from you guys if i should install vista or keep xp or even go to linux
