...or virtual partition...
I like to know all Windows versions, especially, when you try to help other people.
I have:
- 1 older computer with Win 2000 on it
- pretty new desktop with Vista as the main OS, and Windows 7, XP, 2000, and 98 on virtual partitions
- brand new laptop with Vista as the main OS, and XP on virtual partition

Why not try Ubuntu dual boot it with your Windows and see if you can get used to it. I
I can even say it, boot!! http://www.smartestc...tyle_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif It's all I can do to handle Windows.
Talking about Vista, will 64 bit OS's(like Vista x64) run 32 bit apps? My photo program won't run on a 64bit OS is why I was curious.
