I am another person who uses MS, and has had no problems with it, and that
is about 15 years experience. As Ellice says, it depends on what you do,
and for ordinary daily computing, it works for me. More to the point, my
computers are assembled by my DS, who is a softward engineer, and he
continues to load MS operating systems and OFfice when putting my computers
together. Now, part of that is knowing what would be easy for me, and part
of it is he works with MS stuff every day, since it is the most common
system out there. But he knows I am not an idiot or a technophobe, and if
there was something he thought would serve me better, he would tell me. Of
course, we are cautious about jumping whenever MS comes out with something
new (I still run Windows XP, rather than Vista), given the tendency to throw
something new out and work the bugs out later.
I do like WordPerfect, and still run it on my computer, with Word for
documents that I am going to email to others.

Obviously Dawne we are pretty smart, very boring or liars. I had one
small glitch with Vista, having just written that, I couldn't get my
photo editing software to respond, however, after running a couple of
checks, it's now smooth and lovely again.
I love XP and still have it on the Old Guy and also on the little mini
but decided I should have Vista on this when new, have to keep moving
along. I have had no issues, I can't say I particularly like some of
the moves it makes, but it is reasonably like XP.

Word Perfect came with this one, I could load it or not, as I wished.
I didn't in the end. It's now very simple to deal with anything
arriving in WP so it didn't seem worth it.
I caught myself thinking of building one myself the other day and then
whooosh, I figured four computers, one person, one cat, I think not
lol It's gonna be a set of snow tires instead :)

Yike, do I have to make a choice among those 3 descriptors?? I know I am
not boring, anyway. I was sorely tempted by Vista, because I love the look
of it, but DS was the voice of reason to his gadget-loving mum, and said I
didn't really need it right now. Which is true, and the upgrade will be
down in price by the time I get the laptop which is what I covet next.

I have one new big computer with Vista 64 bit, one laptop with regular Vista
and one mini with XP. I really don't find a big difference in all three
and easily switch from one to the other.
I don't think I would upgrade to Vista now if you don't need to. They will
come out with the new program very shortly and that will make Vista look
old.
