Well my experiment with windows vista was shortlived. After trying to fix some of the problems that kept coming up for me, I finally decided to switch back to XP until some of those problems were fixed. Among them was my ability to stream movies and music to my XBOX, which worked flawlessly in XP, but I never really got to work well in Vista. I kept having problems with permissions. The stopgap solution I had needed to be uninstalled and reinstalled every time the system rebooted ... and things just never were as stable as XP was for me. So I'm back to XP for the forseeable future. I keep thinking of buying a mac -- but that won't happen until Apple releases new towers. Then I'll have to evaluate whether it's time to buy one or not.
