Well I have used Vista without once having it crash and I use 2000 software
and download every update automatically without one giving trouble. I just
do not recognize your constant catalogue of disasters. I have also updated
XP to Vista with only the need for update printer drivers for an older
Epson.

I still ask why you use the system but you just cannot answer.
