Probabaly is the sites, they tend to get bogged down at times. Ive had it for a few months on some of them, youtube certainly.

And its not a fully supported OS, and most drivers are Beta drivers. dont expect a fully operational, whistle clean OS so early on.

Font size I can go with, but icon size? Nice to play with but I wouldn't find myself doing that for any useful purpose.

When I was laptop shopping in PC World yesterday I had a play on a Toshiba with Vista Premium (?) on it, I think I'd rather stick with XP. Is this wrong?

Vista is actually a fully rewritten OS based on Server 2003
also its interface is no longer drawn in 2d, it uses directx, full 3d.
it really is nothing like XP
