yes, and the reason we are so hyped is that we have waited long enough for Vista to arrive. Yes, XP is still useable, but I want to try Vista more than ever to get comfortable with it, just like I did when ME --> XP years ago.

Vista don't use boot.ini anymore. instead they use a BCD file. you need to edit that. but sadly, it's not editable. can oly use dos to edit that
