My supported the UTF-8, but I don't think it was because of me being all the 
non-lazy.

I tested Vista out and had no real problem with it, just some driver installs 
(same as in XP really). But since my XP was doing fine I saw no need to take the 
jump. Since everything I've got and am getting runs on XP there's no point.

Not more than XP or 98 did. I don't get why people hate Vista. I haven't seen 
Vista do anything that it shouldn't. At least not more than XP. Having said 
that, I didn't see anything that made me wish I had Vista (or Seven). If it 
ain't broke, don't fix it.
