yea, and i think it is a good feature. but for nor XP is more stable.
vista's extra security features are not worth the trouble of the reliability
issues and stuff.
i beta tested vista and i thought the beta was more reliable than the final
release in many ways for some odd reason. i had a tx1000z with vista
ultimate on it for about a week, but i returned it since vista had so many
issues on it. i beta tested vista on a zd8000.
in my opinion, vista only does good for certian types of computers, like
media center computers that have very good video cards and stuff.
i beta tested vista on a 7 year old laptop and it worked just fine, except
for windows areo missing....of caurse then that pc had a sucky graphics
card, but had a dual hard drive configuration and an external DVD drive when
running vista. i added a 2nd hard drive to the PC so that i could beta test
vista on it. the main hard drive was only 20GB and i wanted to keep windows
XP pro on the computer and plus i knew that i could run the DVD drive
externally.
