RE: Laptop Question (off topic? I don't know)

[John Hedtke <john -at- hedtke -dot- com>]

I think of Windows Vista as the Windows ME of this decade: 
particularly bloated, bad at handling drivers, requires a lot of 
machine power that's not standard, and so on.

That's just my opinion.

Oh, wait, according to the >>>3.6 Mb<<< of email files from Microsoft 
Executives that got leaked a few months ago, they may think similar 
thoughts.  Check this out for opinions from people at MS at the 
Executive VP level.  They don't like Vista much, 
either.  http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/print.asp?entryID=132891

Can it be made to work?  Probably.  I know people who actually got 
Windows ME to work, too.  But that didn't mean you'd want to try.

Yours truly,

John Hedtke
