It is. There is a Beta release of Vista floating about - may download it and see what its like.

longhorn was pretty good.

getting more and more like the look of Mac's. (not Punto60SX)

there was a problem with the file system on the release i used tho. had to downgrade it to NTFS.

if you bought your computer with xp pre-installed, there should be a sticker on the side of the case with the CD key on there, all you need is a copy of XP home, and use your CD key
