I dunno, I've found Vista to be significantly better than XP, provided you do 3 things:
1. A clean install. Upgrading doesn't work, and results in a system with all the stability of Windows Me. 2. Have fully supported hardware. Vista is picky about drivers (but supported drivers are far less flaky than XP drivers) 3. Turn off useless services. Vista, particularly with early installers, runs a lot of crap you don't need. Turn it off. The other thing people forget about vista is that it uses RAM very differently than XP. Vista will keep everything it can in System Memory, which means huge memory footprints under light load. XP will swap everything not in current use to disk, which means light emmory footprints and massive delays when swapping back in. -Adam Who'se had 3 Vista systems so far, and is very pleased with them (one went back to XP solely due to support issues with some 3rd party software I need).
