OT: vista cool feature!

[GCC Consulting]

Just curious, did you upgrade a machine, buy a machine with Vista or do a
clean install on an old machine?

One of my clients leased an office to an outside person who purchased a new
Dell with vista installed.  It kept locking up on him.  After 3 days with
Dell tech support, and not being able to solve the problem, the took the
machine back and credited his purchase.  He went back to using his 3 year
old computer with XP on it.

I will probably install Vista Business on one of my extra machines to see
how it runs.  More then likely it will be underpowered but that will be a
good test of the OS.  

I know at some point in the near future one of my clients will buy a machine
with the latest and greatest MS OS Vista.  And they'll get it with the wrong
version.  One with the home version for the office which won't connect to
their domain network, at least not easily.  Or is it possible that MS
finally figured out how to keep these home versions from actually connecting
to a domain network in an office.
