Vista is VERY finicky.

Windows update, for me, has been hit or miss. Half the time Ive had to revert back.

Using the anytime upgrade from biz to ultimate was also a pain in the ass.

But now that I finally got everything running smoothly Vista is growing on me.

BTW, I thought we Georgia Technies knew better than to jump on an OS before SP1???

I think you need to renounce your degree(s) and move to that other school in Athens.

You're a disgrace! :p
