I sit here typing on my Vista Ultimate machine and wonder why so many non Vista users have so many negative things to say about it. I have yet to have a single problem caused by Vista. My sound doesn't work right but that's a Soundmax/Asus problem because they haven't bothered to rework the driver for my old P4P800-Dx motherboard. Sure there's going to be software that isn't Vista ready yet so folks need to take precautions. I have my XP twin to this machine sitting right next to me - just in case I need to revert back to it. Anyone who upgrades a vital business machine to Vista without checking with their software vendors is asking for trouble. Alll the beta testing in the world isn't going to reveal ALL of the possible problems that can occur with a new operating system.
David, if you based all your buying decisions on what others say, I doubt you would be drivng a Chrysler Crossfire (I think my memory is correct on this one). Many reviews of that vehicle were less than kind, especially the ones by the Euro loving folks. It just doesn't compare to a BMW, Mercedes, etc, etc, etc. Personally, I think it's a great looking car and if I had the exta money, I'd buy one too. It's one of the few cars my wife and I both like. But the majority of reviews I remember reading gave it medium to low marks.
Bottom line, you MS bashers that haven't even tried Vista need to back off. These threads are becoming all to similar to the AMD vs Intel and ATI vs nVidia. Won't be long and these will be closed too.
