I have learned from buying vista on the launch date to just give the new products some time so they can work out the bugs and the updates. When they work out the problems they usually launch a bunch of other products they are good to go.
Anything dealing with technology is obsolete in 6 months.
Damn.
New and improved is not always right the first time around. I didn't get rid of windows 98 until 18 months ago, when I got the new PC. The old one is still working, still gets on the internet and is a real workhorse for what it does. Nuff said.

Hell, I got 2 units with 98 on em that both work like champs. One is used by my partner so we can both be on-line at same time, and the other is in perfect working order but not being used at the momement. I was going to give it away to a friend of ours to use for school (has word on it) but she has not room for it (big old tv style monitor.

I used to maintain Win98 machines and I noticed certain trends. There were certain registry entries that always looked corrupted. There were .tmp files building up in c:\windows\temp and c:\windows\tmp. And, certain files would often show up as corrupted time and time again.
Deleting those registry entries and those .tmp files, then re-installing the corrupt system files tended towards making a happier machine.
