I have Vista Premium OS on my laptop. I've had nothing but grief with it. Vista is a resource hog and has security issues (my laptop is now infected and won't boot up). My desktop is cooking along on XP (with the SP3 upgrade) and no problems.
I am very very very unhappy with Vista. Do you hear me microsoft?
