haha. horay for text rpg's!!!!
and I have to agree, vista is great. I use it on my laptop, I have Ultimate on my gaming rig (had) and used server 2008 on my home server project, and as mak mentioned before, server08 is extremely similar to vista. XP Is fine for doing normal stuff, but vista works perfectly fine as well, and its been 7 years, move on... Also for those of you who remember when XP first came out, it was a lot similar to vista in the sense that there were a lot of bugs, and a lot of it didn't get fixed until SP2 but once SP2 came out, everybody loved it to death.. Vista is the same way, only they fixed most issues with SP1
