Viper - vista has a very Microsoft set base, it's possible to change some settings but is no where never as friendly as XP. Microsoft have taken the user out of this version and put what they want in, if you don't like what you get you've got lots of time to change most features,

I agree with Rich - install XP, it uses less mem and your graphic programs with be using the graphic card not Vista sucking all the graphics RAM in their background processes.

This is all I know from reviews and other ppl's experiences...
