Vista
We will be getting Vista soon at work. Is there a big difference between this and Windows 2000? Easy/Hard?

Just getting use to the interface for the most part. The jump should not be too bad. A Windows user should take about a day or so to be finding your way around. After being on it solid for 2 months I have ditched my XP Pro build, VISTA SP1 is very, very stable and handles Dual and Quad Core processors much quicker than XP.

your company skipped XP and went straight to Vista?

Vista is a different interface, but it's relatively easy to work with once you get used to it. Just sit down one day and play with it and search for everything. It's not too difficult.

Good point - if you get stumped, use Google to search for what you want to do, there is PLENTY of help out there on Vista.

BG's new HOTPINK laptop came with Vista on it..


So far I like it.. though their security can be a little infuriating at times.

EVERY 5 seconds when i first started with it a security message would pop up about something I was doing, or something I wanted to do...

I think mine did like...ONCE...but it is definitely more stable than my XP experiences.
