That's quite heartening Paul. I've been considering Vista for a while on a machine of roughly the same vintage but don't know anyone who is using it other than on brand new PCs. My main worry is compatibility with hardware and certain applications, how have you found the transition in that respect? Did you, or any of the other users, have to do a lot of manual driver installations and have you experienced many problems in those areas? There are a few features of Vista I'd like, but I don't know whether it's worth it. I am running a P4 on the machine I'd like to put it on although there's plenty of RAM, and from what's been said I'm wondering if I'd be scuppered with that. I was thinking of flooring the machine anyway so I'm tempted to put Vista on it if I'm going to reinstall the OS anyway.
