(Windows in general) seems to be copying Mac and FIREFOX with their layouts on Vista and with IE7. I'm using Windows XP on my home PC but have 2 notebooks on order that will have the new Vista OS. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to XP. I know that I WILL BE INSTALLING FIREFOX right away though
.
I'll hopefully remember to give my opinion on the Vista OS system.
Our Dell desktop is using XP, our Acer notebood uses Vista. Neither my self or the wife care too much for the Vista. It seems to have a lot of 'bugs' still in it. I've heard a lot of other people say Vista has a lot of problems.
Dell sells XP on their systems. It's not even a special order.
We are probably using the last Dell I will ever buy.
1) It makes more noise than any computer I have ever heard. I'm not sure if it's the hard drive, or a fan, but a loud "hummmm".
2) When new, between Aug. 04 and May '05, (Before DSL was available to us) the modum was replaced
4 times
3)In May '07 we started getting a dreaded "blue screen" with a message "device driver stuck in endless loop --device nv4_
disp". The idiots, after about 6 or 7 hours on the telephone changed out the mother board, hard drive, and drive cable. (YEA, with all the stuff on the hard drive) Then while
I had to install the operating system, the same blue screen came up.
A friend @ work said try the video card. Called Dell, they sent a Video card, I installed it, no more problems.
With customer support like that, I'd just as soon buy at a pawn shop next time.
OOPS, SORRY just realized I was there again.
