I will probably buy it next year when more fixes for the known problems are available. And I know that my HP scanner is not compatible,according to Microsoft.It's not that old,about one year,and I don't think I should have to buy new hardware that soon...especially if it's still working great.

I just bought a new PC and unfortunately Vista is the only option... I tried to convince them to uninstall it and load XP Pro but no taker. So, I will have to be a Bill Gates guinea pig for now.

So far I'm liking it. I did have troubles installing my Zune software onto Vista. I found message boards that told how to get it to work. I just couldent wait until Microsoft issued the their official patch (fix) for it. Being a Jr. Hacker and all... I got it to work fine! Not to worry, I didnt do anyting illegal.

you have to Uninstall Norton 2007, go to Norton website, download the new Norton Internet Security 2007 (if that is what your talking about) install then activate with the CD Key you used with your previous bought version.

I upgraded with a Clean Install....
1. There are a couple of programs that I had with XP that will no longer run.
2. No crashes as of yet... Still working on installing a few programs.
3. Havent used Technical Support.... NEVER DO.

One program really screwed up Vista was Roxio Easy Media Creator... hoping they come out with a patch soon.

one Printer doesnt work (Lexmark 7170
Logitech Orbit Webcam doesnt work.
