Sorry Lyne, that sucks, and I do appreciate how sick that can make you, was sick as a rat for a week myself doing the swap over, and that's without the stress of having to actually build the damn PC :p

So far, Vista has been a fantastic improvement for me, but, it's Vista ultimate, quad core, 8 gig RAM on superb motherboard.
There's a new Service Pack for RHino so that should clear that up. Just hope a couple of my very old, and irreplacable photoshop plugins work, as they areno longer supported, and I have yet to put them in (they are installered prgrams, not just basic filters: ULEAD GIF X and Genesis).

I got a laptop for my Mum in the SUmmer (well, she paid for it :P), and yes, Vista does NOT work on 512 RAM, bloody stupid to sell a 512 RAM laptop with Vista, had ot upgrade it.

Thus I think, if you are buying a NEW system, and a good one, get Vista ultimate and lot of RAM. Otherwise, you may as well stick to XP.
