I remember back in 2000 I bought a dell dimension with Windows ME. The first thing that happened when I booted the PC (for the very fist time out of the box) is the it booted spectacularly fast and then crashed. I upgraded to XP the following year.

The first time I installed Vista Beta on my pc I had only one problem (the creative sound card), which I blame completely on Creative. Since I decided to get rid of my Creative Audigy card I've had no problems with Vista and I wouldn't got back to XP.

On a side note: Things that Vista does very well - File Recovery.

One day I had a problem with Half-Life 2 Episode II so on the advice of Valve support I removed Steam, with the plan to reinstall Steam and hopefully fix the error. To my suprise steam removed all my downloaded games (20GB approx). The thought of downloading all that again was very depressing. Vista to the rescue. After reinstalling Steam, and recreating the Steam folder, I right clicked on the folder, selected Previous Versions and after 3 hours I had restored all the 20GB downloaded Steam content. So for me Vista is a thousand times better than XP for that reason alone.

I'm enjoying Vista so far and have good experiences for the most part. It even ran fine on my crummy laptop (which is currently running Ubuntu). I use it on my primary desktop (for gaming and web development) and it runs snappy and does what I want it to.

Well i couldn't agree more.....

It's amazzing how ppl forget so quickly.....these are all the same things they said about PX when it first came out too.....

GET OVER IT!!

Vista rocks IMO

I'm yet to see a major crash/BSoD etc and it detected all my hardware straight up....sure i had to get the latest drivers from the vendors but we have to do that with any OS.

Its getting real annoying that tech sites can find anything better to post other than a whinge about vista....find something interesting to post about please!

How does this thread make the front page? Slow news week? I mean it's a fine discussion thread and all.. but newsworthy?

Here, feel free to use this in the slow news time between Christmas and New years. We can use an Apple twist this time. Just circle the right responses..

I, "Love/Hate" Leopard! All you Mac "Lovers/Haters" should just shut up! I am "never/certainly" going back to Tiger. "Tiger/Leopard" is so much better, it's by far the best OS EVER!! All of these tech journalists that know "nothing/everything" need stop writing all these "negative/positive" reviews. etc..etc..

Guess what kids-EVERY software package and OS sucks if you look hard enough. The only ones who thinks it's cool to just complain about Vista are the 10-14 year old girls who roam myspace and believe everything they read. So to all the girls who are Vista bashing just remember you'll change your tune in time just long enough to start bashing something else.

I have been using Vista since January and I can't believe people find it better than XP. No friggin' way *shakes head*
