Sorry but i have to add my 2 pennies to this, Vista can be "hacked" not to need reactivation but that is mostly done by pirates, i'm not saying you're a pirate just that its usually done by pirates, i have been using Vista for about a year now and have added and removed loads of different hardware, no problem, i haven't had compatability issues or activation problems in fact fingers crossed, my pc has actually been more stable under vista than it was under the "blue screen of death" xp pro i was running before, so in short maybe just maybe vista isn't as bad as people make out, sp1 for vista is out (sort of) and it seems to have made vista quicker, lets give it a chance hey?
all the best Juv.U.K
