if you do end up getting vista, dont ever use the disk cleanup utility (start menu/accesories/system tools or right-clicking my computer). i used it a couple of days ago cause i like keeping my computer clean and organized all the time, almost too much.. but anyways i ran the disk cleanup which i havent done before and found an entry saying 'per user something something'.. offered to delete lots of GBs away so i thought awesome, i mustve overlooked this somehow. so i ran it and im in my computer following how much space is being cleaned up. it went from 30GBs of free space to 60 in a few seconds, then i thought oh shit something must be wrong here and thank god i stopped it then and googled the entry exactly. appears to be a known bug with vista and a lot of ppl have been screwed over by it. i personally think it is unforgivable to allow microsoft to get away with it, disk cleanup is part of the OS, a utility that you should trust and it should never have authority to go and delete everything in your documents and eventually the whole pc if i let it.. but whats one person gonna do ? so anyways, if you do end up getting vista.. be very careful of this dick cleanup bullshit. its completely hazardous and has caused a lot of ppl a lot of damage, me one of them now..
