I understand the problems you are having. I brought a new laptop with Vista pre-installed and it was good for a while for web development, But i really do recommend going back to XP the performance is soo much better and its a better all round computer. However i am testing Windows 7 at the moment an i have to say that is 10x better than vista its so much more powerful, running it on a 512mb computer with Windows 7 ultimate public beta installed and have had no problems and is as fast as XP running with 2GB of RAM :D

Sign up for Microsoft Connect to test 7.

As you know "hosts" file was used for IP resolving before the DNS services have been used in Internet. So, nothing special about "localhost" - it's still a domain name ;)
Whatever you say. goodbye.
