I had heard a lot of the adverse comments so bought a machine with 2GM

One of the things they have removed is Control Alt Delete so you have no
choice but to power off then it goes into recovery mode to try and fix
the
problem, but this all takes a long time (and so far has not worked) so
what
would have been an irritating freeze on my old machine would take only a
few
seconds to regain control I find taking hours on this one
On my WinXP Dell I can get the same effect as Ctrl Alt Delete by holding
in the
power button. Dunno if that will work on your PC or with Vista.
My son's new Dell with Vista runs most thing he uses without a problem.
