A huge step backwards
Microsoft has really missed the mark and has taken a huge step backwards with this latest operating system. I have had a retail version of Windows Vista sitting on my desk, uninstalled, for almost 6 months now. Meanwhile, my computer is stilling running Windows XP and it's going to stay that way for some time to come! Windows Vista is slower, buggier and less productive than Windows XP regardless the hardware you use on it.

Pleasantly surprised
The only explanation I can find why other people are complaining about Windows Vista is there are user errors involved.
I have Vista and I have not had one bit of trouble with it. I use XP at work, but at home I use Vista. When I ordered my new computer, I upped the memory to 2GB, knowing that Vista required 1GB. All my "old" software works on Vista with the exception of one and that was a downloaded game. No biggie! All my external hardware installed and works with the exception of my scanner. After 3 months, the company had the driver for Vista and after installing it, it has worked great.
Those individuals who have problems with Vista, sounds to me like you need to upgrade your memory (at least 2GB) and maybe even your hard drive (at least 60GB).

GARBAGE!
Do not buy this. I plead with you. Nothing is compatable. NOTHING. Some things say they are, but they really arent. I will never buy a PC again. Buy an Apple.
