I apologize for that... you've entered into a long, simmering argument.

The issue, for me, is the extremism of the positions.  This is the path of
most of these discussions:

Person A: "I'm having trouble with Vista!"

Person B: "I'm doing what you are and it's working... let's try to figure it
out."

Person C: "Vista is pure crap!  It's useless.  Nobody can use it!"

Person B: "I am, in fact, using it and enjoy it very much."

Person C: "Then you're strange and must be an MS investor because it doesn't
work for anybody!"

Vista has problems.  Vista is a good OS.  These are not mutually exclusive
statements, all OSes have problems.
 
But the most basic, primary, fundamental rule of Vista - the rule that would
make the most people the most happiest is simply this:

DON'T MOVE TO VISTA UNTIL THE STUFF YOU USE EVERYDAY WORKS.

That's it: just don't move to the OS until the software and hardware you use
works with it (or until you're willing to upgrade to stuff that does).
There are many, many avenues for you to determine this - it's not hard.

I'll agree that there are good reasons to move to Vista.  The integrated
search and greatly enhanced contextual design is amazingly well done.  The
new media capabilities are great and (for my part) Office 2007 is the best
thing to happen to Software in the past ten years - but none of these
reasons are worth it if the fundamental tools you use everyday won't work.

It's really that simple.
