Vista isn't shipping on any systems, it's due early next year. Many systems come with a free upgrade coupon though. MCE is a memory hog and is very common (One reason is that the Vista coupons get you Vista Home Basic if you have XP Home, and Basic is crippleware. MCE goes to Vista Home Premium, which is the minimum usable version of Vista). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
