Thanks so much for the replies. Yeah, I went from my Dell with XP to Vista Home Premium on this new Gateway MT3705. If and when you go to Vista, be ready for some real adjusting. For example, Nero Ultra and Paint Shop Pro X both required large patches to work. Also, I love trains and my Microsoft Train Simulator would hang when I exited, forcing a reboot. Had to use the "Compatability mode" and set it to Windows 95 and as an administrator to get it to work properly.
Vista is a much more elegant OS and as I get used to it I see that many workings now go much more smoothly. All in all, it is the wave of the future and I hope that many other software applications issue updates to work with it.
BTW, I went from 1 gig RAM to 2 gig: what a positive difference.
I think I will try the MS Virtual PC, let me know if you try it yourself.
Good luck, thank you, and stay safe.
Mike
