 Bye bye vista against all of my better judgement I installed Vista again to give it another chance. My idea was to run vista as main os and run ubuntu with virtual box. 15 mins into using vista BANG! BLUE SCREEN okay, maybe this is a one off... nope! i had problem after problem and after an hour I gave up and reinstalled another version of vista that i have (Basic) worked well for about an hour then again loads of problems. How can Microsoft make something so  that id doesnt work properly right from the beggining. I think once i have run ubuntu virtually for a little while and im more confident with it that ill say goodbye to microsoft for good. I think id even rather use a MAC and i absoloutley hate them too. Oh well back to my trust old windows XP.JustinGH

| It has gotten better. Remember '95? '98? ........ ME?? I remember that 95 had somewhere around 45000 lines of code (IIRC). that expanded exponentially with each successive version. More opportunities for bugs.... more hardware to make work... There are many factors. But still, my new build isn't running vista either. |

| My new PC is running Vista. I am sticking with it for a while. But even on a new PC with 3 gigs of RAM and a C2D [experience score around 4.8], applications crash regularly - even windows components and dialouges. I just suggest you either run XP or a form of Linux.

| I am currently using Klikit Linux. I am not saying that Ubuntu isnt easy to use I dont believe its the easiest also it isnt as stable as I would like it to be too many bugs for my taste. As far as Oensuse I would never use a rpm distro or a commercial distro again because I see no advantage in it.

| hmmmm.... seems like my thread has been hijacked lol! In response to my origional post and the replies to it, the machine i was refering to at the time has sice been renegated to the shed to gather dust. I have gone back to my laptop which runs windows vista (impossible almost to get xp to work on it) and vista seems at the moment to be performing quite well, especially since ive used windows readyboost! but im still gonna run a virtual linux OS but its just choosing which one. Im not too sure i like ubuntu. But i do quite like the look of PCLINUX
