Dunno about all the fuss with Vista is since I never had any troubles with it on any of my machines that have it, including this laptop. But I do rather Win7. Computers are complex machines and anything minor that goes wrong can domino into something that can bring the whole system to a crawl. However, I'm currently battling Win Server 2008 and some mysterious auto-update that screwed up my settings. Now there I can understand fuss! Grrrr  :-)
