In Vista, SystemRestore is set to delete restore points after roughly 136years ... yeah, let that sink... Normally Windows uses up to 15 percent of a drive’s available space to save restore points. In XP, the option to change this figure was configurable from the System Restore tab of the …

Hypothetical question, does anyone here plan (at this point based on what they have seen) to buy any new hardware to run vista? What are some of the things that make you happy or tick you off about the Operating System? I am doing research for my website... Mike [url]http://www.windows-vista-update.com[/url]
