Finally...

Got rid of that stinking piece of crap operating system Vista and installed a proper OS, Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope. Man what a relief and sense of freedom. I'd been running Vista on my laptop for quite some time and that POS kept crashing on a nearly daily basis. As an experiment to see if it was my hardware I booted Ubuntu from the live cd and let it run for 5 days with no problems whatsoever. Browsed the web, connected to my wireless network, connected to my home network and transferred files between various operating systems including Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2003 and didn't have a single hiccup. I cannot recommend this OS highly enough. If you are technically competent at all you should definitely dump Vista in favor of Ubuntu. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner. So much lost productivity due to a worthless sub-standard operating system. I'm not a Micro$oft hater really, I love XP Pro, but Vista was a heaping stinking pile of crap and I put up with it for way too long. If you are doing any kind of web development you'll definitely save yourself a bunch of time and aggravation by ditching Vista and running Ubuntu instead!
