I've been using it for several months now, and aside from aggravatingly slow it is (it can take up to 15 minutes just shut down) I haven't had any issues worth noting. I can access Widipedia as well as all other web sites - I use Firefox, not IE) and I don't have a DVD burner, just a CD burner, which works fine. I use all the standard apps - Adobe reader, RealPlayer, AVG and Norton (which I removed when the trial period ended) as well as Mozy backup and several spyware apps. If there are features in OO that don't work, I don't know what they are. Everything I do works fine.
I can't say I like Vista and I'm experimenting with dual booting to openSUSE. Once I can figure out how to get online, I may dump Vista altogether. I'm sure my blood pressure will go down. :-) -- Pat Brown http://www.pabrown.ca/ L.A. Heat, the first Chris and David mystery
