    I still have 941mb of ram left so I'm good to go. My uptime is somewhere past 2 weeks, I have 36 documents open in editpad, photoshop, 3 firefox browers with multiple tabs on each, cuteftp, aol, and cod4 minimized. Have I ever had a bluescreen? nada

    If I closed everything my memory usage would go down to about 25%.

    Im running Vista on a 4GB machine. It loads much faster than when I had XP on it.

    And wow.... zero crashes since the day I installed it.

    I'm still a big Win98SE fan.. that was an operating system.

    Lean, mean and fast even if not so robust and stable.... why didn't they just continue to update that code base?

    Oh yeah.. WinME. Doh!

    Vista has gotten better since it was first released, too bad i still can't find some XP -> Vista drivers for some things like my printer.

    Zero crashes? Either you've only had it for a day, or you are one lucky person.

    My Vista crashes more than my 98SE or XP ever did. I've had to rebuild it no fewer than three times in six months, and I have to rebuild it again soon. :(

    And I do take care to maintain the computer properly.

    It's way more stable and secure than xp. I dont know how people can stand xp, especially with its security features.

    Maybe you have some HW problems, viruses, crashy drivers, and so on. I have Vista from it's first release, and I had no problem with it.

    Well Its ok i guess but to run vista properly you will need 2gb or ram.
    I dont like the fact that we are being forced to upgrade our sytems to run this new os.

    I think the main reason that some people hate Vista, is not because it's new, not because it's buggy, not because it doesn't run their old programs, not because it's slow on anything older than 2006, not because of UAC, not because of the silly all programs menu, not because of all those different versions, but because we want to upgrade. Upgrading, shouldn't consume lots of time and money, and upgrading should make your experience better. Not more difficult.

    Personally, I have nothing against vista. Except for the old application compatibility. They could have done that better, and i'm kind of disappointed.

    yep all u have to spend more and then see if that is fine. For new pc its ok but if u installed too many things on vista machine then see how slow it goes.
