I couldn't get over those annoying parts... Those "Are you sure you want to do this?" at every second mouse click drove me crazy.

Cecil, find a way to try Vista before buying. I know many people who just couldn't get over the annoying new "features". Others can ignore them.

>>I have recently received some ads via email about a DELL Laptop called VOSTRO 1000; it seems like a good deal for $399, with 1 GB RAM, 120 GB of hard disk space. Has anyone else seen these ads? What do you think?

>>Are DELL's laptops any good any more? I own an HP Laptop and I like it but it seems way too slow for me.
