Title: Be Careful Before You Upgrade
Product review: After 72 hours I have reinstalled XP on my Lenovo T61. Here's why:1. Incompatible with existing software. Too many applications are not compatible with Vista. For example, QuickBooks 2005 wont work with it. So there's another $200 at least to spend.2. Network connectivity. Hit the wireless router just fine, and logged into our home-office network just fine. But Vista refused to then see the network, so no file sharing or printer sharing. Hours were required to hunt down the cause and resolve it.3. Boot and shutdown speeds. Vista took a 60 second XP boot and doubled it. Ditto for shutting down.4. Install size. The Vista install is enormous.5. Nothing new. For the money, the most obvious benefit is an interface change. It looks great - slick, professional, crisp. But that was it.
