>From what I have heard from the computer world including techs at HP and even Microsoft folks themselves, Vista just isn't up to operating snuff. I still have 2000 on my main computer (and I love it!) and XP on my laptop and the one I inherited from my mother. I don't know why (except to sell something) they got away from 2000. XP offers less and is not as easy to use., but Vista has just played havoc with everything from programs to hardware. MS folks say that 2000 is the best operating system they have put out (not the big guys) the people that don't have a stake in anything but making things work.) I love FTM 2005. It does everything I have needed to date. I haven't upgraded because I can't see a good reason for it. Can anyone tell me what 2008 offers over 2005? I'd really like to know myself.
