I have had a love hate love relationship with vista. I have played with windows 7 and think it is what vista should have been, but I still like vista.

I fell out of love with vista (as you can see by recent posts) due to a problem it developed with automatic updates and the pending.xml file that I spent hours fruitlessly trying to repair.

But its ok now.  It has been patched and automatic updates now work as they should and with no action on my part.

So good news but Im still owed 2 months of free time by microsoft for the crap they put me through!! grrr
