I'm using a wii right now. I have a computer with XP, but it is SLOW. I use my wii for most internet browsing and my computer for things only a computer can do.

I dont have vista, and I never want to. It looks cool but is complete crap sometimes. >_>
I'm happy w/ my Windows XP.

I have a Windows 2000 installed onto NT x.X
Really old & slow, but it runs just fine and does everything I need to do.

You can reduce the resources by disabling Aeroglass and/or the special effects.

I set mine to disable them when I go on battery to save power.

All Vista is bad. You can't fix a terrible system. It would be easier, cheaper, and less risky to pay $50 for my uncle to rip Vista off and put XP back on.

Apparently you can reduce the CPU usage of Vista down to about 20% and therefore have things running more efficiently by tweaking certain controls (I don't have Vista so I don't know the specifics). There's still an unavoidable downside to Vista, and that is many programs are still not compatible with it. I'm still wondering if downgrading to XP for about $100 is worth it.

And DragonFireOKN, if something went wrong while trying to "fix" vista, you wouldn't send it back to MS, youd either fix it yourself, get someone else to fix it, or take it back to the store that you bought it from.

If you did something to void the warrenty, you wouldn't get any help from most stores. I suppose you could pay someone at a local computer store to fix it. Or better yet, remove it completely and get a better OS. Anyway, Vista is supposedly getting replaced by Windows 7 in 2009.

Eh, I'm happy with my Windows XP. It gets the job done - that's all I need. :-P
No need for me to pay more for Vista.

Well, I do void warranties... :devil:

But it's for good, anyways.

You didn't answer my problem. You can still make a mistake.
