no I'll agree, while i may be no republican I do somewhat fear change when it comes to OS's, especially when I head about Vista raping memory and RAM usage. XP Media center works like a charm on my M1210. I realyl don't see the need to go and buy 4 GB of RAM just so that vista can give me constant updates on the world and let me know time and temperature. If i want to know the temperature, ill go outside. The only time I need to know is 11 AM when my class is, and if I really want to know how screwed up the world is, I'll take my own time to investigate. And if I had $400 to spare to upgrade to vista, i'd buy a 360 instead. :razz: Otherwise, XP suits me fine.
