Is there a diagnostic that can be run that will give me a fair idea how Vista will run on my machine? My Dell laptop claims to be Vista capable but with only 1 gig of RAM that is shared with the video I am rather skeptical.

Isn't there something on the Microsoft Website that you can download?

Anyone else get this email?

> Hey all. Just a little warning if anyone is thinking of upgrading their computers to the new Windows Vista, DON'T!!! Evidently from what I have heard, if you have any software loaded that is a copy of software and not licensed properly, Windows will disable your internet explorer 10 minutes after the computer is turned on. Even if you have a license, unless it came with the CD, Windows will still shut down your interent explorer. This is microsofts way of cracking down on pirated software.


Not that I'm running unlicensed software or anything . . . . :lookaroun

Sounds like someone with time on their hands making it up to scare people. Just another junk email.

Ya I thought it might be - I'm not ready to change yet anyway, so if anything happens, I'll know about it before I change. :animwink:
If there is such a thing in it, the main stream net media will publicise it. Give it a few days and I'm sure Snopes will have it on their database one way or another.

It's probably a hoax. the truth is that if you dont activate or need to reactivate and dont, or if you used a pirated serial key or something, Vista will slowly die over 30 days, starting with the premium features, ect, until it won't boot.
