So I can access all my data from C drive.
And as of the apps, I just portable apps, so I don't have to install them.... And the music, netbooks are not meant for it so I use my iPod....

As for registry bloat, that's more down to craptastic third party software that doesn't unisntall properly. CCleaner and other apps will sort that out.]]>Jan 14th 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/
Do you even understand what the registry is or how it works? Particularly with the virtualization schemes that Vista uses, the registry is unbelievably resilient against 'bloat' impacting performance on any perceivable level.]]>Jan 14th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/Jan 14th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/
As for the sleep thing: I leave vista running for weeks at a time, often putting it to sleep when I leave for a significant amount of time. EVENTUALLY, and I mean after at least 14 sleep and wake cycles, the sound will quit working, or flash videos will only play 2 seconds at a time and then freeze. Happens to me about once a month. It doesn't really bug me very much though.

Other than that, vista is a perfectly stable OS on suitable hardware, and with some tweaking, people have gotten it to run fine on netbooks. Vista gets a bad rap because it had a bad start. For example, 1 out of 3 early crashes were caused by nvidia driver problems. Not exactly nvidia's fault as microsoft kept changing some APIs all the way up until release, effectively screwing over companies like nVidia who were working their asses off trying to get drivers out.

When I hear comments like Mobius_1's, all I see is a "me-too" person trying to be "trendy" for saying vista still has major issues big enough to warrant avoiding it like the plague, and that's simply not true.]]>Jan 14th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/Jan 14th 2009 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/Jan 14th 2009 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/windows-7-beta-update-saves-your-mp3s-all-other-versions-get-se/
