I remember Windows 2000 very stable better than the likes of Windows ME. I used to have a pet cat and loved it to bits and still do <3 and very much hope she’s in cat heaven.

It maybe be pre-judging, but referring to a personal choice I chose to upgrade to Vista after Service pack 1 came out, as I read about some of the problems people had been experiencing. Now I understand some of these problems we're due to hardware etc.. But Vista did have some bugs in it, and microsoft excepted it. The point im getting at is I choose to wait till a Operating System has been out on the market for a while instead of jumping into a complete new OS straight away. And if you have patience many of the bugs and issues that people have been having are fixed in service pack updates (Which is how Microsoft runs the show) or in other forms. And Fire G your comment about my Logon Avatar. I like cats, so of course it's going to be a kitten. Not embrassed or ashamed, I like cats. And im glad my laptop is the same as your Grandma's, I feel a special bond has been established Im not a strong believer in installing operating systems that are in beta (Even if you create a seperate partion).

James uses the kitten avatar in vista!!! LMAO!! Oh, and you have the same laptop as my grandma, but there's has better specs since I went through up upgraded it all. I use a DELL Inspiron 1501, it has it's faults (like capping at 2gb of ram while I have over 5gb sitting on my bookshelf) and the harddrive is loud and small (I've since replaced it with a WD 500gb Scorpio Blue). @Andrew: I say just upgrade to the Win7 beta. It's very stable and plus it's free. HAHAHAHA!! James uses the kitten avatar in vista!!! LMAO!!

Happy you got it back :D Awsome post aswell, those photos are making me drool when i'm still on XP :P The best effect i can get comparable to that is the Google Sidebar and it's transparency I'm on the coathanger as to whether to spend now and get vista or save and either a) wait till W7 comes out or b) invest in a new computer...
