I'm not using Vista by choice! My computer using XP was 3 years old and it
crashed and burned so I had to buy a new one. Have you shopped for a new
one lately. They all come with Vista even though I am going to get the free
upgrade to 7 when it comes out. This computer has 8 gigs of ram, and a huge
hard drive and works fine except for the MasterCook program.
