Will Vista "walk" on my PC?

Key question!, as it is very unlikely to "run"!

Douglas Adam's got it wrong, it won't be the shoe layer that extraterrestrial archaeologists will find when they try and understand what accelerated the end of this greeny blue planet. They are far more likely to find the Vista induced PC layer.

Carefull before you race out and buy the Vista DVD. It is far more likely to cause your poor little box of wire and silicon to screech to a grinding crawl!

"Far better" (for who I wonder) to buy a new PC designed to be able to at least stroll when VISTA is installed on it. (Oh by the way, I got round to looking at DOS the other day, boy was it quick, ir reminds of the days when software did "run"!!!)

The result will be the release into the wild of a huge number of old PC's, which will be more than capable of "running" LINUX. Hmmmm. Wonder if this will be such a clever move for Bill!

Luckily the PC I plan to install VISTA on was purchased to be able to operate Vista at walking pace!
