I'd use Vista for a week if someone bought me a comp that fit his challenge.

2:10 PM EDT 		I've already tried Vista, as part of my job, compared to Linux with a 3D desktop, or Metisse, it's disappointing, and it still lacks all of the Linux things that are so frustratingly missing in Windows XP, in adition it's slow on the same machine that any Linux distro running a 3D desktop flys on. If someone bought me a computer with Vista on it, I'd replace it with Linux in a flash.

BTW I get "server not found" when I try to surf to the link for the article.

Of course, the absurdly high hardware requirements of Vista poses a problem. Maybe if you'll buy me another 512 MB for my laptop. Also let me borrow a different disk drive since it's Win XP Media Center Edition (on a 24 gig partition) and Zenwalk on the remaining 49 gigs. I don't want another WGA strike against me for doing "something" to my system, which is mine and which I paid for and whose business is it what i do with it anyway. Actually I just turn off the wireless when I boot Windows to run the only program I run there which is the Nikon scanner software.

tracyanne,

That's because it's 1and1 that I'm hosted on. Every now and then, they get an error. It's working fine on my end. Do you have any other problems surfing sites built with e107?
