good idea...I knew vista was going to be like this any time Microsoft releases some new OS it always has problems until they improve it with tons of patches and updates. Right now its pretty much just as good as Wine for Linux except Linux and Wine is free!

I have to disagree completely with you, i have used Vista since its release and have found it the most easy to upgrade to and use version of Windows yet, i have had no issues wit hany games, drivers or software at all so far and the OS itself is just amazing

you got it when it first came out how much did that cost you ??

a bit of a waste of money when you dont need it and it just eats ram
i mean XP still works just fine an its not like you have a direct x 10 gpu ether

It's easier to update when the updates are available. I've had few issues with HL2 and EP1 with the sound driver situation by Creative. And of course with every new version of Windows you need newer versions or replacements of many softwares. Surprisingly the older games have done the best so far.

If you are going by how games ran in the beta versions you would be way off base there. The betas are just that "for evaluation only". Those are incomplete versions of any OS or software. Vista does offer more features like the new User Account Control where the added security sees a few more startups. But it has better self repair tools now seen.

The two main drawbacks are no recovery console for manual repair and no add/remove Windows compoents option seen in the add/remove programs section. The lack of drivers for hardwares(some) as well as software patches is typically seen when any new OS first comes out.

PLEASE post this in the "Vista Software Compatibility thread" located in the "General Software" subforum, so I can add it to the list currently compiled.

Thanks!
