Re: Why Windwos Vista !

I said something about ME because someone compared it to ME in one of these posts. According to my Vista's Reliabily Monitor, the last Application lockup was on 3/16/07, IExplore.exe stopped working and had to be reloaded when a definition update for Windows Defender occured.. before that adobe reader locked up on 3/5/07, thats it for the past 30 days. So I would say it's really stable.

Last month, on 2/17/07, Rise of Legends locked up.

This computer is always powered on. My roomie and I use the same computer and both of us are always logged on. Also we use Windows Media Center from my xbox 360 at the same time. No problems cept for what is listed above.

My only gripe is that Adobe doesn't have a 64bit flash player so I still have to run a 32 bit version of IE. :)

No problems here and with updates like this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932246 compatibility problems are going away. Currently everything is working great on my system. Very stable and nothing like the nightmares of ME. However, with all that being said. I would still recommend waiting for for more updates before rolling this out in a corporate environment.

WOW -- I'm not sure contrasting it to ME instills confidence :)
