Re: Windows vista?
From personal experience, I have had no gripe with Vista, and I actually prefer it. Having vista on my school laptop and going back home to use XP on our main desktops there, I actually find myself disliking XP. For me Vista is faster, especially boot times.
I've helped build computers for various friends (picking out components and putting it together). All of them at first didn't want to go with Vista, but after some convincing they accepted. So far none of them have had any complaints.
IMO, Vista is more or less like XP with a few (smarter) choices. I didn't notice a whole heck of a lot of differences. I find networking easier/more simple in Vista for example.
That being said, I do believe people who have had true and genuine problems with it. I consider myself to be fortunate in that I've had no real problems with Vista. But a lot of the bashing comes from hype, which I think is largely unfounded. But once you get an image, it is hard as hell to erase.
