What are your opinions on Windows Vista? Everyone I've asked says it sucks.
I just got a new computer with the Windows Vista OS already installed on it. I was thinking of wiping it out and installing XP instead (from a disk from a previous computer), but my dad said I'd better not -- "Because soon XP will be outdated and you may not be able to get updates for it anymore," he says.
Vista can be pretty slow loading up and a bit buggy. For some reason, it likes to close Internet Explorer sometimes and then restart it. It's very annoying.
Since I've chosen to leave Vista in my computer, is there any way I can make it better or faster? I don't like the HP Yahoo Search Toolbar at the bottom. Does anyone know how to get rid of that feature or at least get it off the taskbar?
