    bought a laptop about a week ago with vista pre installed, and have spent half of that time getting to like vista, but more importantly, the 2nd half of that time, trying to get it removed, since most of my accessories didn't work, e.g bluetooth dongle, webcam, even the internal wireless card didn't have intel drivers for vista and i had to settle for the shitty vista software. Not to mention how many programs crashed.

    I tried to get xp and backtrack on the damn thing. Eventually got a XP disk with SATA drivers for the HDD, installed that and BT 2 beta, ive never looked back since :)

    Summary: Vista ain't ready for the world yet. Maybe in a few years time when everything is compatible, it has a few nice features, but not enough to sway me over to using an unstable o/s and needing to buy new bt dongle etc.

    I've been using Vista Business edition since early Janurary, and I am loving it.

    Aero rules, and it seems to have increased the performance of my machine overall.

    Definatly worth an upgrade if you ask me.

    How many people are going to open a Vista thread this month!!!!

    But, I'd have to say Linux is the best.

    Really - I tought this is general chat and everyone is able to open a thread here and discus what he like. If you do not like the damn thread - just don't read it.
    Now at the question - I like VISTA. It's great, work perfectly on my computer and I can't say i have problems with drivers. My husband play some stupid game - Lineage 2 (I hoped it won't run on vista, but it did, and he said - it works even better). The Aero theme is very nice and beautifull, there si something like 3D (and it's nice - you can mess with windows and stuff) and if you have vista compable PC - better use it.

    Wow another person who likes the visually appealing OS. Yay!

    I believe we should have a debate on here; *nix v.s. Windows Vista.

    Wonder who would win...

    I heard it's pretty dope. I need to upgrade to 2 gigs on my notebook before I can upgrade. Sucks, I wish I could do it now.

    I've been using it for about 4 months now thanks to my MSDN subscription. It does need a good chunk of ram but it runs fine both on my pc at home and my work desktop
