Bowing to the inevitable

Date of Review:  May 29, 2008

Review: I don't have much experience with Windows XP, so am not the person to discourse on how Vista differs from XP. I don't like either one. Both seem far more difficult to use than MAC operating systems. I realize that part of this is that I am familiar...
