I recently purchased a desktop with Vista installed and I have never seen so many cases of "blue screen of death" as I used to know it - way back in Windows 3.11 days.

I changed my anti-virus software and have not had a problem since.

It has meant that I have had to buy new software thus increasing the cost of upgrading more than I would have wanted. One advantage is that I have also tried out Microsoft Expression web as an alternative to Dreamweaver (as 2004 MX crashes Vista) - I am pretty impressed with Microsoft's new web development software.

I must admitt that I think I still prefer XP Professional and if I had realised the problems involved in not being able to run by existing software I would not have gone Vista.
