I had vista forced on me when I bought my new laptop… I can hardly use the laptop because the OP has more glitches then features. Like extracting files from .rar containers, moving stuff from usb2.0 devices or viewing a directory with several video files, or using a 3rd party firewall, or getting rid of the really useless windows-defender (that failed to protect the system from becoming infected with malware in its first 2 hours of use) etc.
Performance is awefull even with 2 gigs ram, dual core processor and new grafic controler in games.

After using it for 3 month I conclude with a hearty:
IT SUCKS !!!

There is one major game company, who makes some of the most popular PC games out there, that does build for Mac. Blizzard. :)

It isn’t an upgrade, but a downgrade.

Bah, Hawk didn’t write this. Nevermind. Subsitute “Hawk” for “Dude” and I’m not a dumbass.

Hawk, what they don’t tell you is the amount of users that downgraded from Vista to XP. I, for one, downgraded and won’t be going back anytime soon unless they make major changes.

The only reason to get Vista is to play the new games, in my opinion, and even they will eventually be ported. Till then, I’ll just use my Macbook and a Dell with XP and Suse.

Aaaah…I’d say, after buying a laptop recently, that it’s more the fact that the major chains are FORCING Vista on people.

I use Vista on both my stationary PC (bought in parts) at home and my Laptop (Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T60) I use for work. I like the OS, haven’t stumbled on to any larger issues (have used it for about 5 months). It does require more resources then XP but when “fed” with enough RAM and a sufficient graphics card it feels faster than XP (and Ubuntu) with the same hardware. Hardware benchmarks show that games run a little slower than in XP but I think that’s a matter of tuning the drivers and when the DX 10 games start showing up that will probably change. I suggest that if you have the opportunity you should try Vista out for yourself, you might be positively surprised. Right now you can’t take any reviews at face value, too much politics involved, and too many fanboys on either side.
With that said I think that OS X (Apple) will continue to gain market shares, and this is great the more healthy competition on the OS market the better. The main thing that is keeping OS X back IMHO is that you have to settle with the hardware that Apple supplies. Hardware that often has a nice design but my not be the latest available.
