I am in the process of building a laptop as I enter the adjuster's realm. I was wondering, How compatable if at all is vista with the software that you all use, or is out there?

I have a few online places that I shop. I build desktops for friends and such, this will be my first notebook. It should prove easy enough, I'm not as user friendly with the notebooks.

heres a few places that i shop from regularly and have grown to trust.

Hope that helps, thanks for the vista info. Let me know if you have any questions about building your notebook.

James this older thread mentions some software issues.

Thanks Gale, I have read enough to understand that there is nothing wrong with XP pro

Windows Vista can wait.

I have the full vista operating system and I have opted to not install it yet. You can probably go to the websites for the software and see any compatability issues.

I also now have Vista and it is a power hog. I am  on my second new HP laptop. The first Vista was so messed up, Best Buy just gave me a new laptop. I could not find anyone selling new PC's that had XP Pro, so I had no choice. I had purchased one on the U-Bid.com, but it was a mess and U-Bid left me out to dry and would not send me a new PC. I do not recommend U-Bid to anyone. Vista is not a good operating system right now. Perhaps with their patches they will fix the problems. What a joke, but a good money maker for you know who.
