    No problems here

    Hi Chris. I have been using it on my new laptop for a few months now and have had no problems adjusting to it. Maybe if you are a super user or really computer savy, it is lame, but to the average home user, or me, it is fine!

    I've had Vista since last spring and got nothing to complain, love it and wouldn't change it for anything else anymore At first, it will take some getting used to (like new things always do) but once you are familiar with it, I'm sure you will like it.

    You shouldn't have any problems with Vista on a new machine.

    My comps are less then a year old and both have 2g of ram. My gear runs better on XP, both came with Vista.

    Windows 7 should be out soon.

    Maybe I should change that to read "I never had any problems with Vista on a new machine".

    Most Vista problems are user created or it was installed on an underpowered machine.

    Windows 7 is awesome!

    Linux is better.

    If you are an average user, XP or Vista is ok for office or gaming. If you need it to do real work (MULYITASKING) then you need Linus , Unix or
    VMS.

    Windows Vista and the new "7" will be just like all other MS crap, never finished. Microsoft never gets a platform debugged and stable before moving onto another equally lame attempt a creating an Operating System. Until MS gets control of their DLL's their OS will always be unstable. The last half way stable platform was Windows 2000.
    My 2 cents worth.

    Thats true. Try installing Vista or Windows 7 on a Pentium III Celeron with 512MBs of RAM and a Geforce 6200. That would be fun.
    Now, try installing a nearly totally custom Linux build on the above said system. Easy as cake. Then play games on it. They will actually play .
