Ya that was half the reason I'm looking into a newer system. 2000 has already impeded me from being able to install several things I wanted to (such as my free VB program from my old VB class), and I really feel like I need a more current OS to go with my new system. I mean I would be slightly embarrassed to still be on an old OS like 2000 after finally getting a dual core processor and getting past the half gig of ram mark finally.

Though I'm kind of pressed on getting an OS since I honestly want to get one either today or tomorrow so I can finally get my system running and be off this monstrosity of a lap top.

My main gripes come down to I know XP and I can use it, but I hate how vulnerable I was in the past with it, even though I have better knowledge of security now then I did 5 years ago. However I have no idea on Vista as I haven't even seen it in use, let alone worked on a Vista OS. So I just don't know anything about it, except it got released too early.
