Please tell me you got home premium. Then, just look online to see what needs to be turned off. After that, Vista works okay. Ubuntu will work better though, you're right there. Are we up to Jaunty Jackalope yet?

I have vista at work, so I know what to turn off, just haven't gotten around to it yet, tomorrow at work I get to install CS4 and all the stuff I need for work, then I will fix the settings, and yes, home premium.

I just bought an Acer laptop from walmart for myself. It's the 5515 with a single core athlon 2650e (1.6ghz), 3gb ram, 160gb hdd, dvd burner... and vista home basic

I've been playing with it all weekend and I like it. It's not my dream laptop (alienware area51m or dell xps) but for $350, I'm happy. I'll have to check online to see what I have to turn off.

My Toshiba took a crap just before Christmas & I also got an Acer 4730. Cheap & does what little I need it for.

I'm still using the Gateway MX7118 from three years ago... of course, it's not my main computer so that might make a difference.

Adobe CS4 installed...

5 hours.

I took care of uac on the second day... after I got tired of the extra annoyance.

I uninstalled a bunch of the trialware and mcaffee. got avg and openoffice going. And several games.

Which Ubuntu are you using?

I don't know what version he's going with, but I have a disc I downloaded awhile ago of xubuntu 8.04

Got a machine at home waiting for it. Just need to get a monitor.
