A few weeks ago, Dell went through a period where they did not offer XP any more. Weeks later, they were offering XP again due to customer complaints.

I was one of the unfortunate ones to have ordered a computer during that dark time when XP was not available.

I've no doubt that there are clever individuals out there who can manage this nightmare that is Vista without much trouble. These people probably differ from me in that they are 1. highly tech-savvy 2. patient beyond belief 3. not addicted to older video games such as Civilization III as opposed to the newer versions (Civ IV stinks).

Windows Vista has been a total NIGHTMARE! (Said in highest shrieking tone.)

The horror . . . the horror . . . .
