You don't really think that Vista is, in any way, better than XP? I'm pretty sure that you are the only one on the planet that feels this way. Even MS thinks that Vista is junk. Why do you think they extended support for XP as many times as they did and released Win7 as soon as they did? It's because Vista is/was a mistake! I have XP on one netbook and Win7 on another. I can't imagine how lousy either of those netbooks would run if they had Vista on them! @barna b jones: Are you kidding me… You don’t really think that Vista is, in any way, better than XP?

I love it and feel I should get a commission from HP for all of the potential sales I've made when people come up to me while using it! The only complaint I have is the incredible shrinking C drive disk space!!! I seem to lose a little bit each week/day. I adjusted the System Restore setting a little bit lower and it bumped me back up to about 700 MB space, which was much better than 90 MB it started hovering around. Now it is approaching 500 MB. I even declined to update Java. I've become very territorial about it, almost borderline obsessive. Deleting itunes downloads and pictures as soon as I transfer them, defragging, deleting cookies. What else can I do? What is eating my MB's? The only programs I'm running are Norton Internet Security, itunes and Picasa. And they don't take up that much space. HELP and suggestions, please!

You don't need one of the big brickish ones to power a netbook -- one of the little 75W ones that sits right in the 12V jack is plenty, and should cost only about $25-30. Even if HP had an official car adapter it would probably be more expensive than that :) @Jon – for charging in the car, I’d recommend a cheap inverter.
