curious how that is working for ya ? I have that but am afraid to mess with it
due to the stories I read about drivers and such.

mature and rock stable.

I haven't found any real problems with Vista (aside from a handful of
annoyances) but there still isn't anything to really make me recommend
it over XP.

Yeah agreed Brian. XP64 is ROCK solid ( based on Win2003 kernel ) and I found
good drivers for everything I own.

Unknown if really old (esp 16 bit) apps work properly. I use plenty of 32 bit
apps though and they work flawlessly.

Ditto, but I also don't like the changes they made to Explorer.
That's one of my main complaints of Vista.

Yep. I use the Freeware nLite to strip stuff out of my Windows installs too

Using vlite is how I discovered the several hundred MB of unnecessary tablet
PC stuff that is part of every Vista install, including desktops.
Had a weird problem with the one time I did a vlite install. Somehow, it
corrupted the real administrator account. I was logged in as administrator
and
I use FF in my server with Vista, do not use it for much though except when the
family is on the main box.
there are a few annoyances for sure.

Are games faster on Vista with DX10?

vista has separate install media for 32 and 64 bits
the license key determines which version of Vista it is (Home Basic/
Premium/Business/Ultimate) but the media determines the bitness
