Only had one issue with a user account having to be deleted and re-installed. Overall, though, it's done a lot better than the Vista machine I've got. That one really sucks... Still, for overall dependability, I like XP Pro; I've got two XP-based machines which, while old, are what I boot up when I want to make sure I get something done... Take Care, Dudley

Yet it has the smallest market share of any of the smartphone OSs. So much for the theory that hackers only go after the most popular OS. Windows is a "mature" (read, "obsolete") product that has been surpassed in every way by practically every other OS out there. Microsoft needs to scrap Windows and start from the ground up. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

Fastest machine I used. I finally got it running slow.Tested a 10x18 image with 5,000 pixels/inch in CS5. That ran a little slow. -- Peter
