Maybe not Vista but from my preview of the latest Windows 8 (which is beyond words to descibe the crap) it might have been the forerunner for that.
Windows 8.....you can shove it where the sun don't shine :( Looks like the morons with the diplomas have done it again. Must really prove that when a diploma comes in then common sense goes out. Can't see it taking off at all and ending up a bigger disappointment than Vista ever was.
Thank F for rock steady el cheapo Linux ( I use Mint) that does exactly what it says on the tin!
 :D ;)

Yep, I've got a big stack of hard drives, whose content will come in handy one day and various old PCs that have been cannibalised for parts.  ::) ::) ::)

But having said that. I been having problems with one of the graphics cards in my development PC, with it freezing or crashing. Yesterday it reached the point, where it was doing so every 10 to 15 minutes. Opened the case and found the fan had seized. Now an old PC that I recently retired had a graphics card with the same chipset, so it was an easy fix.  :y :y :y
