I hope I never need to do anything in a hurry, with this thing.

This is the "business" version of the OS (He compared feature sets, and picked the one that had the options he wanted.) however I think the culture that invented the "business format" letter, must surely get fed up with all this asking and re-asking. If commas and indents are too many keystrokes, all that pounding on the Enter key has to be driving them mad.

I don't know what the OS costs on it's own. he got it packaged with the box.

It's everything I hated about moving up to XP, but twice as much.

You are not allowed to do anything, including give yourself permission to do anything.

It doesn't get along with the XP machines already in the network at all, and it seems to be monumentally troublesome to do the smallest things.

Trying to give yourself permission to do something, without letting the entire internet also have permission, appears to be an exerciser in futility. Everyone has access or nobody does.

Somewhere in this poorly documented monstrosity, ther is probably a button that does what I want, but isn't the point of a Windows OS that you don't need a year of IT training to use it?

Okay. That made me giggle. =3

Breanna's computer runs on Vista...and I hate it. The main reason I don't like it..is because I can't play older games like Puzzle Bobble & Delta Force on it. :C

I did manage to make it stop verifying everything I did, so it's not quite as extreme as it was.

It still annoys me, though.

With the newer patches, I can make it run UFO: Afterlight, by setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP, so I can't complain there.
