I was at Staples a couple of weeks ago, just before the Jan 30th Vista Launch. The salesman was bragging that they had a system up and running easily with Vista and no problems. I told him of the articles I'd read about hardware incompatibilities even with "Vista Certified" parts and problems running even store bought DVDs. He denied any problems and took me to the machine. It was an HP machine. He took a brand name Ice Age2 DVD sitting beside it, put it in and it promptly failed to load or run. A nice error message took up half the screen. Case closed. I won't touch Vista for a long time. Almost every system at work is W2K except for one on WinXP Pro. Microshaft has put so much into Vista to prevent piracy that it's screwing up everything else. I know a couple of people who have been running Beta RC Vista and liked it, but it's way too finicky for me.
