See the "new laptop" part. :) It came with Vista, and until I decide I
can't take it any longer, that's what I'm gonna run with. Since I haven't
even let Vista boot yet, I don't know how bad it really is. I'm willing to
give it a fair shake. I wish it had Vista Ultimate or Vista Business on it,
then I could freely "downgrade" it to XP Pro. But, I don't have the $$$ to
purchase XP right now, and I don't have the time to install XP before the
lan party. Eventually, I plan to re-partition the drive to put Ubuntu on it
(if it runs, I had a problem with the 6.10 live CD), and maybe XP MCE. I
seriously doubt I'll like Vista, but I'm gonna give it a shot first.
