Well, now that I have been running Vista business for about 2 months, I think I am acquainted well enough to divulge some of the experiences I have had. So, since I have installed vista I have only had it crash once, and that was for a completely random and unknown reason, I have found no programs that specifically make it crash. I recently installed oblivion on it and I'm not sure wether it was vista or oblivion itself, but the game closed to an error of some kind once, and another time it froze the game partially when someone sent me a message over google talk while I was playing and it never recovered, so I had to end it through task manager. My iPod works just the same as it did in XP, except it offers to scan and fix it since it believes there to be a problem with it, but it works completely fine without the scan and fix. Also I might mention that I am running vista with only 1GB of memory, and I do not seem to have any problems with the aero desktop or any other thing that I have heard people complain about 1GB not being enough to run smoothly. An annoyance that I have had is that it disables the partially-see-through windows with some programs, E.G. limewire, and makes the whole look of everything so much less appealing, but this is only cosmetic obviously and is not a real probem. I love the look of the pre-installed games (solitaire, hearts, chess, etc.), though it took me a while to figure out where they were, since they came disabled in business and you have to re-enable them through the add or remove programs area. Well, that's about it for now, I will update since I'm sure I forgot little things and so forth, but for now I hope that anyone interested at all in reading this has found it useful in the slightest bit. Peace.
Oh yeah, also I just turned level 20 today, took about a month of very sparse activity, but I made it.
