I support LAN-WAN connection at verious hotels. I seems that configuring the client's laptops have become impossible because of the VISTA interface to LAN connections. The new default security and the changes in the LAN connector prperties or at least where they are hiding has created a problem. If you cannot connect to the internet through the Hotel's Access Server, they have to give you your money back. VISTA is going to cause a lot of problems in this area. I Predict that VISTA will cost Microsoft market share. LINUX is easier to use and less restrictive. The new GUI interfaces have made a lot friendlier than VISTA. I sell PC's and servers, I have had to issue refunds b ecause customers dislike VISTA so much they have returned their systems. This never happend when XP was released.

I bought a Dell XPS M2010 for presenting a financial software we developed which has alot of S Plus, a statistical language. My only choice from Dell at the time was Vista. Unfortunately, S Plus doesn't have the patch yet to talk to Vista (even though I checked with Insightful - the vendor - before buying the computer and they said they benchtested it. They backpedaled on that one when confronted post Dell purchase) Anyway, how do I get back to XP at this point? Do I have to go out and buy XP or will Microsoft 'downgrade' me? The graphics on the Dell are outstanding...will I lose some of that by stepping out of Vista or is it solely the hardware that's giving me the superior look? To reconfirm your point above, when I asked my Dell rep about this, he said I could choose either XP or Vista on any more XPS m2010 I plan to buy...helpful, huh? Thanks YT1 Milo…Timely post for me.
