| I really wanted to buy a copy of XP Home, but found that Vista Basic was on offer for less. I don't give a damn for transparent nonsence, all I wanted was to be able to run Photoshop Elements version 4, which won't run on my beloved Windows 2000 (no bloody activation !) |

Subject: DVD drive & compatibility |
| My dvd drive no longer recognises disks, it just asks me what I want to do with the ´blank disc´. I can open a player play a dvd but that is not a solution for software installations. Also the swindle of ´vista ready´ software is a money-making exercise. |
