Hi William So 10% work - that's the Lenovos, lucky me. My machine at work is a five year old IntelliStation at 2 GB (rambus => a fortune). It runs XP and will continue to do so until replaced. My former machine was an IntelliStation too, put into service with NT4. Speak about ROI. Seems like a habit to skip every other version of Windows. /gustav >>> wdhindman at dejpolsystems.com 26-01-2010 13:38 >>> ...lol ...spoken like a true cultist :) ...Win 7 has a rewritten kernal ...the Vista bells & whistles are are there but the snail has been replaced ...I tried Vista when it was first released and it was a cripple on 90% of the hardware I support, a no starter ...I think of Vista as much akin to Windows Me, a technical and marketing failure between Win98 and WinXP ...but that's ok, if you're happy I'm happy for you ...just you keep Vista and I'll keep XP and wait for Win 7 to SP.
