Vista Myths

Lets see, Vista is more stable then XP unless you do an "upgrade", everything I've used is compatible with it, and it supports more hardware out of the box.

you mean if you already have XP installed, and use a Vista upgrade, rather than installing vista on a freshly formatted harddrive, it is less stable?

If you have hardware unsupported by Vista, you may run into problems. If you own an OEM machine designed for XP, for example, you'll possibly have driver issues. Some of the companies haven't provided an upgrade path for those that want to run Vista.

oh ok. bc i did the upgrade, but i upgraded a fresh install of XP. in other words, i formatted, installed XP (didnt even install drivers) and immediately upgraded to vista. i just wondered if i was going to have problems bc i could go back and reinstall from scratch if that would be more stable

All your hardware is supported by Vista (i.e, drivers), so you shouldn't have any problems. Let us know if you do, though. :P
