I think the majority of people that have Vista issues are the ones running it on shitty old systems. When I moved to Vista they gave me a brand new machine that was more than capable of running it. ---

The only downside I see is using it to play game emulators since they were designed and run better on XP. Other than that, it’s all good. ---

When you’re baller you don’t use emulators, you just go buy the game system. 🙂 And yes, I’m sure there are people with top of the line machines having problems with Vista. There were XP horror stories when it came out of people saying how much 2000 was better. And there were horror stories about 2000 when it came out. Some people either just suck at setting up a system from scratch, have some defective hardware, or are just incredibly unlucky. But instead of wasting a bunch of time troubleshooting an unstable install just format, reinstall and start over (assuming you eliminated any hardware issues).
