Everything I've tried to do on Vista is a challenge - peripherals, networking, you name it. Throw in the fact that you need 2 gig of RAM just to run the bloated POS, and you could say that I'm not a fan.
FYI, I started a new ladder character on the xibase account. Sorceress, and I have her up to lvl 15. Might be playing (with or without V2.0) later today.
I still have bunches of characters. I've kinda stripped 'em of equipment becuase my son and I have been playing, and I've equipped him, but that could be remedied.
Magnum may not do then - got a belly pan, but it's pretty low slung. OTOH, it'll get to my mother's place fine, and the final 2 miles of that is over rough dirt roads. They're not bad quite enough to require AWD, but it's helpful when it's wet.

If you wnat even better gas milage, pick up an SXT model. Forget the plain-jane version - the smaller 6 banger is enemic.
