    Pros: Specs: Inspiron 6400, Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66 GHz, 2 GB RAM
    Speed: Runs rings around Vista, only marginally slower than XP.
    GUI: Friendly, easy control panel interface for the typical non-IT home user.
    Stability.

    Cons: 1) Permissions Issues
    2) GUI: Some Control Panel items take many more clicks to get to - this is only tedious to me, being a seasoned IT user.

    Summary: Permissions Issues: Even with UAC turned all the way down, seems to have repeated permissions issues with iTunes, and just about any random folder under my username - Documents, My Music, My Videos. This one problem is SO niggling that I'm actually thinking of going back to XP if I can't find a workaround. I've tried the reg hack with Grant Admin Full Control, as well as Advanced Security settings. Maybe its an issue with CA Antivirus and Windows 7, but I haven't come up with any data to support than theory yet.

    You don't sound like much of an IT guy - I'm not and I can make it behave how I want. Go to the school you went to and ask for your money back.
