Well, I got a new Hewlett Packard computer with Windows Vista a month ago. So far, I'm very happy with it. It's fast and seems stable, and Office 2007 is very nice to work with. My previous computer was four years old and very sluggish.

I wonder why anybody would want to upgrade to Windows Vista on an older computer - the cost of the operating system is a healthy down payment on a new computer.

I still haven't found a solution to my main sluggishness problem - my dialup Internet connection. No cable or DSL out here in the sticks, and satellite seems too darn expensive.

One thing about Windows Vista bugs me - the screen fonts aren't as distinct and clear as what I had on Windows XP. I'm set for ClearType fonts on an LCD monitor, but there's some other setting I must be missing.
