Do you have Vista SP1 installed ?
My machine came with it pre-installed and I have never had any of the problems people have reported regarding Vista not working.
When I bought the machine, last year, I was in two minds whether to run Vista or remove it and install XP. Only issue with Vista is when it goes off and does its indexing thing which hammers the hard drive for an hour or so every now and again.

What machines are you guys running it on? I'm using an athlon 3000 with 128MB graphics and 1.5GB ram and its completely useless. I've got a new laptop but dubt the graphics would be good enough.

intel E8400 (core duo), 4Gb ram, Vista 64bit, ATi 4870 graphics and raid 0 disc array. The recommended specs are quite high but honest I think.

Robbijay · May 28th, 2009, 22:36

yeah i saw the specs, but chose to ignore them! really can't be bothered with building myself a new machine after putting up with numbnuts users at work and building machines for the rest of the family!

Only problem is if your machine breaks and you have installed x.p on too it,that will invalidate the warranty
