On one hand, rage can be defined as what is hip and new. On the other, "Rage" can be defined as what white hot hate you feel when it takes 5 boot-ups to get the proper screen resolution under Windows Vista. So here's the deal. As I type this article on my Laptop, my desktop machine is in the process of downloading all the updates for Windows XP. Yes, Windows XP. I am in the process of downgradring (Or should I say upgrading) to Windows XP on my primary desktop. Now, in my case, this computer had two hard drives in it. So, I am keeping Vista intact while I am installing XP back to the second drive. If I need Vista for some reason, it's there. I don't like burning bridges.

	hitchhiker  +  602762 Wed, 03 Dec 08 12:03 AM I know this is technically OT, but .... I've been using computers (programming) all my life (26 years of it at least). I use computers for everything; I need them to be fast + reliable. I reluctantly bought my last computer with Vista on it - installed all my dev. programs - everything. 2 months later, at great cost in time, I went back to XP. If unlike me, you don't need to be using windows (programming in .NET for instance) - move to MAC OS X. It's a different world.   hitchhiker Joined on Mon, Nov 18 2002 Richmond, UK Senior Member 3,440 "They obstinately persisted in their absence." —HGTG
