    Vista hasn't worked smoothly for me. Takes up a lot of resources from the system.

    I'm still using XP. I just can't get over how many bad reviews I've read on DP about Vista. I take it this forum is a fair representation of PC users in general, so problems with Vista must be really widespread. I wonder why Microsoft doesn't get it and fix that crappy platform.

    I wouldn't think that at all, actually. I'd think it's perhaps some sort of fair representation of the most computer-literate 0.1% of computer users.

    Yes, I think so. Much, much, much more widespread than you'd think from reading here, surely.

    You guys are still not answering my question.

    Why don't you like Vista?

    I'm <still> using XP, myself.

    I remember the day XP came out. Not even gaming PCs from cafes ran past 1GHz, so using XP would've been tricky. But hardware caught up with software and people started updating. This is bound to happen with Vista as well, but until then, I won't spend more money on a PC just so I can run some bugged OS that doesn't even support my drivers, let alone my apps.

    I have noticed that we are still using Windows XP at work, with the occasional Vista laptop popping up here and there.

    I love XP!!!
