I recently made the same mistake. I’ve been using linux (whatever my favorite distro may be at the time) for years. Switched over completely sometime between ‘96 and ‘97. I thought it would be cool if I had a second PC running the dreaded Vista. At first it told me my copy was not genuine(taken care of), but that is besides the point… I know it is a big learning curve for most… Power users might be delightfully suprised to find out that they can accomplish everything they set out to do on the other systems. For example my M$ Vista story started when I thought it would be easier to screen capture with Camtasia (no offense, it works great)… I guess I was asleep when I made that decision.
Call lifeline now. Self harming behaviour is not good!
I am a windows user (for the time being) and I won’t go to Vista…..for a lonnng time
Thought you were a mac lover , don’t do it from all that i have heard - know Duncan Reilly switched tp a Mac after his Vista install
so don’t do it- why spoil a good weekend
Hi Ed,

Folks, can’t you see the sarcasm in his grip?
Microsoft doesn’t deserve your money
Just when you had me wishing for a MAC AIR. Ed…Ed…I am so confused now! LOL
Oh please don’t! You know Windows OS’s never work right until a couple of years after the release! Why don’t you try Linux or something else?
