    what OS

    That statement is wrong on so many levels....... Vista does not support a host of legacy programs and hardware. My HP printer cannot sync with Vista. I do not appreciate having to buy new equipment I do not need to accomidate an OS. Also, many of my older programs will not run on Vista, the...

    Computer Debate

    Thats the problem. The great majority of people that set up a wireless network don't know HOW to set it up. Most people don't even change the default password on the modem or router they set up.
