Is it the OS or the laptop?

The e-mail program in vista was locking up my new system. After a day or two the program would run out of memory. New windows would not open and the system needed a restart. I ran the Vista update and all is fine now. Try the latest Vista update first!

What RIPlugger said - just plan on 3 hours time to download and run the updates.

There are somethings I like about Vista and a lot of crap. Lets see id they screw up Windows 7 as much as Vista...

Going to do a deep look into customizing / hacks on Vista - any yoo fellar geeks have links to Vista Tweak sites you like?
