What Apple, under 1000 USD, can I buy that allows me to upgrade my video card?
Does this apply to any of the HP desktop line?
You say this why?
I like Vista.
The fact that your hardware is faulty isn't the fault of Vista.
What is so wrong about Vista?
I miss the ponies!
My system specs follow. Please explain why I my Vista install works well.

Try answering the question.
Perhaps you should pay closer attention...
You know their was a reason why I put the words "Modern Hardware" in my original post...
How does the DRM and protected path nonsense negative to my use of Vista?
What brand of laptop and what specs did it have?
Then why does it run well on my system? Intel DG33TL mother board. 2GB RAM 300 GB SATA HD 1.6 Ghz Dual Core Pentium ?
That "spectacular failure" is selling about 300,000 copies per day. IOW - MSFT brings in more revenue in one week is OS sales than RedHat and Novel do in 52 weeks.
Next year has been the "Year of the Non-Windows" desktop since before I signed up for a /. account.
Because I used the word Vista in a post and didn't say negative things about it.
All my DVD's play at normal resolution. Had you tried to play a DVD under Vista you would know this.
Then your hardware is bad and should be replaced by whom ever you bought it from.
