Shop manager Aaron Kaplan said they were prompted to put it up because so many people were having problems with Windows Vista, including compatibility issues with older software and trouble adjusting to the interface.
Oh, this is the first post from Vista123.net.
Merry Christmas to everyone who visits here, and Happy Holiday to the non-Christmassy folk too.
