    Firefox is a Vista killer it seems to me. Uses so much memory on vista compared to my XP machine running FireFox

    I can't believe how quick I get low on memory. Maybe Firefox is the culprit. I still have trouble running some sites on FF that work fine in IE.

    Who ever says XP is better is telling a lie. Just because developers are transferng to Vista does not mean its bad. I have not had a single security threat and all my programs work perfetcly. Even the ones that are not supported. Stop saying it does not work and try it for yourself.

    It keeps not finding saved wireless networks, forcing me to connect manually. This leads to loads and loads of saved wireless networks in the list meaning I have to keep going through and deleting them.

    There is something wrong with your wireless card or you need config. I have saved some 12-20 wireless networks and it always connects to them as soon as its in range.

    Maybe I need to show you how to use Vista:D
