Sorry, I don't get you. New machines today are BUILT to use Vista. Large
fast-access HDDs are the norm. Dual core processors are very common. 2GB
RAM is almost standard. Vista uses no more resources proportionally, in a
machine BUILT for Vista than does XP in a machine BUILT for XP.

Too many laptops ship with 4200 or 5400RPM hard drives (just like in the
days of XP) to really support that argument. Sure, 2GB and 4GB laptops are
increasingly common, but the rotational speed of the disk is a very
important factor in OS performance.

Are you serious? Everyone knows that 3.1 was just 3.0 with new lipstick!
It was a complete pig - it needed 2 MEGS OF RAM and a 486 CPU for decent
performance! It gobbled up 10 WHOLE MEGS of disk space! :-)

Some things never change.

Where did I say I would be using an IBM XT with no HDD, two 5 1/4" floppy
disk drives,
640k RAM and Windows 3.1 then? Why are you so defensive?

Translation: if you want Vista, be prepared to fork out money for hardware
or for a new computer. The new Ubuntu runs fine on my Athlon XP 2200+ with
one gig of RAM and an nVidia 256MB video card.

You want to live in the past. The world moves forward. People desire
better hardware and operating systems. With Vista, you get both.
