    Re: Why

    just ignore it, its an itch that will go away when you stop thinking about it, it was the same for me, i was craving those silly big icons and opaque taskbar at one point just like you. but then i reassessed my life and my priorities and got over it, and you can too

    Re: Why

    Well I've got Vista64 Business at work, and Vista Home Premium on my Shuttle at home but my main rig is still XP32...
    It's kinda due for a reinstall tho which is probably whats doing it, got a P5Q-E and it locks up for about 10 seconds when it comes out of screen saver....

    Re: Why

    I went through a similar phase between February 2007 and around July 2007 (not long after Vista's release and my purchase of it) before finally settling down with the x64 version. Not looked back since. If you've got the hardware to make the most of it, use it.

    You like creating threads to go over old ground again and again?

    Seriously - you *know* where this thread will end up - it'll be another "Vista Sucks" thread.
