....hahahahahahahahahaha. backwards compatible my ass.


Anyway, there are all sorts of problems with Vista. If you can't solve them after searching for help (And we all know you searched for help before you posted this :P) You'll have to change to XP or Linux+WINE to run it.

Oh, this has nothing to do with hating Microsoft, I can hate MS enough just based on their business practices. Vista itself is a piece of shit.

There is nothing worried about. Your laptop + your OS is fine. SRO work perfect on Vista.
