OMG, I just went and bought a computer! *bounces* Complete with Windows XP (Home Edition, yes, but at least I didn't get that stupid Vista), a 500GB portable harddisk and a 20'' TFT monitor! YAY! :D And I think it's a really good computer on top of that, because it's very close to the one we have at work (only with better graphics and more HD space ( Read more... )

Hi! I'm going to buy a new laptop soon, and am fussing over the decision of whether to get Vista or not. You think it's OK? Do you have the family or professional version? *chews nails over this decision*

I've heard that Vista is good if you don't "mess with it" much, but that people who install a lot of stuff get into trouble - what's your experience been?

Well, mine is a laptop too, and so far I haven't had any problems with Vista. I've got the Home Basic Edition, if I'm not mistaken, and all the programs I've installed (Corel, Ares, Google Earth, and different codecs and the like) work fine. Thank God, I haven't had any problems with anything I installed. :)

If you're interested, here's a list of the different programs compatible with Vista. ;)

Thank you! *smack!*
Awesome link - really great to have good information, as well as actual user experience, before taking the plunge myself.

Have pretty much decided to get a Vista laptop after I return from holiadys in July. *tries not to be nervous...*
