Woody 43526, lol I have used 32 and 64 bit variations and different flavours of Vista on approximately 7 different machines over the past few years and I have had three crashes, related only to video and hardware issues.

Vista isnt that bad.

If there are people 30 years older than me on YouTube, they ought to get a life, and that's the end of that.
