since my laptop broke down i had to use one of my dads computers which happens to run windows vista. at first I thought about just wiping the drive and put on windows xp right away, but I gave it a shot and I must say I am quite surprised.

Internet connection:

i took the computer to my room pluged it in and there was no internet connection. grr, but i turned out that there was just an old configuration still in place and it took two mouse clicks to geht this machine online. so bassically not more difficult than on my mac.

Networking:

vista is crazy about permissions, and so it took me quite a while to figure out how to share a folder on another computer in order to copy some stuff to this computer. In windows defense I must say that I had file permission problems as well when sharing files between my girlfriends mac and my own.

installing software:

no problems there. just downloaded the couple of programs that I use and after one hour i was ready to contiune working on the same website i was working on my macbook pro befor it crashed. if could even install xampp without any trouble

the notoriouse cancle or allow question:

well it comes up once in a while but stays within acceptable
