   Call me strange, but I am curious and want to try out this new OS I've read   
   and heard so much about. If things get really bad I might get rid of it, but   
   so far I'm actually enjoying the new Aero interface. Thnigs seem to run   
   smoothly.. (as they should on a Core 2 Quad, sammit!).   
      
   I did evidently run into problems yeasterday when I had a few apps installed   
   that I use on my XP machine, and Vista started BSOD-ing. I installed   
   Kaspersky Antivirus and the Raxco PerfectDisk 2008 defragmenter, and one or   
   2 other apps. I think Vista didn't agree with PerfectDisk, although I'm not   
   sure that was the cause.   
      
   And as I said I still have my XP machine standing by. We'll see how it turns   
   out.
