Use the Virtual PC and install XP onto it.

Is there ANYONE that actually likes Vista? What's wrong with it?

It's hard to find compatible programs and drivers sometimes. It's pretty, but at the expense of performance.

It's got some positives. Windows + Tab is pretty neat. It's more user friendly (if you haven't grown too accustomed to XP). Search and security. Blah blah blah.

Ah, ok.

I really don't care for it either way.

I turned off Windows Aero cause I thought it was boring and dumb.

I'm too lazy to turn off all the administrator prompts (which ask you for permission to move files and all kinds of stupid ****) and my control panel applications vanished into thin air.

This is true. So very true. Installing my old printer/scanner was annoying and I never could install TWO separate versions of Word which I LEGALLY own. Mother****ers.

And all the security prompts are a little Orwellian. :o

Otherwise, it's not SO bad. I can still play Half-Life and browse the web, so.

Turn off User Account Control to get rid of those dumb permissions.

I'm sure method #4 would be more your flavor.

It even asked me for permission when I did that.

Re: Vista, Yay or Nay?

Doesnt Vista need like 2gigs of ram JUST to run smoothly, with anything else like games or programs needing more ram?

[jvrlopez]

Re: Vista, Yay or Nay?

That's why I turned off Aero.
