Only problems I have so far with vista is there are too many things waiting for updated drivers. My maggellan 300 does not have a vista driver yet and my hp 1020 printer just got one like last week. Soundblaster live drivers suck as well under vista.

Windows 2000 was one of the most stable OS I ever used?

in a few years i'm sure you'll have to use vista at somepoint. its part of microsofts ploy, force the upgrades onto the consumer!!!

Yea... Vista is great...
Until you need to install something thats not made for it...
or
Until it breaks...
or
Until you need to configure something...
I tried it for over 6 months....
You will Find Windows Xp Pro back on my PC now. Maybe when SP1 or SP2 comes out for Vista i might try it again.

The way i look at this whole vista situation is that its an opportunity for me to learn and IF i do have trouble its a nice little challenge for me.
