but here is my question why the H*** does it take so long to load everything. i kid you not if I don't touch it it can take 2-3 min just to boot all the programs. If I push the button on my old xp machine with a slower processor and more crap on the hard drive i will be in business quicker on the xp machine. then don't even get me started on compatibility issues. You buy a program then to run it on vista you have to buy an upgrade for more then you orginally paid for the program. GRRRR sorry i am dealing with trying to swap to vista.... It sucks.
