So everything works great, except plug-ins. And audio interfaces. Oh, and
stuff is buggy. Other than that, Vista is killer! Spoken as a true salesman
;-)
I guess I'll dual boot for now and get my feet wet. My new machine will have
4GB of RAM and I'd like to start using it if I can.
Thanks Chris,
TCB

Cool thing is you can install Vista 64 without a product key and extend the activation time to 120days if needed.
Unlike XP you can actually get all the windows update stuff without activating it.
Here is the web site you want to go to for Vista tips that actually work.
www.tweakhound.com
His XP page kicks butt too but you already know all that stuff.
