I don't think that's true at all. I've been running SuSE since 9.1 and all of them with the the exception of 10.1 have been very stable. It has never once crashed or become unresponsive.
What problems did you have?

I'm running Vista Ultimate on an AMD 4800+ with only 1 GIG of RAM and 128MB onboard graphics.
It runs great. It downloaded every driver it needed during the install and has not missed a beat since.
XP would have left a sea of yellow in the device manager, probably without ethernet drivers to even get on line.
I simply cannot figure out why people complain, unless they are running Vista on very old hardware. My son runs it on a single core 2.6Ghz PC!

true, I dont know why people are complaining on the RAM ect when yes, it does run fine on a single core 2.6Ghz,
my problem with it is probably the way everything is layed out.
after being with XP for a long time, i don't think i could ever get used to vista.

What RAM are you running,
i know the minimal requirements for vista is something like, 1.5Ghz, 1Gb RAM and it should run.

Yeah just like MS said the minimum for XP was like 256 or something, lol yeah right, try running XP with 256mb of RAM. Your boot time will be 10 minutes, but yeah it will boot

The minimum for XP is 128mb I think. It's beyond slow. I've seen Vista run on a Compaq Evo laptop with 384mb ram. It was designed for windows 2000, lol. It worked, but it was beyond slow, and couldn't run solitaire.

Actually it was listed as 64mb. I tried it, and used it for a while when I still had the ol' hp pavilion
Then for the hell of it took one of the 32mb sticks out...needless to say it got to 'welcome' then froze Back in the day XP wasn't bad with 128 mb of ram, but then again that was in 2001, and the programs out were a lot less resource intensive.

There probly is. but you are right...Windows Vista SUCKS!!!
Turning off the UAC or User Account Control is as easy as going into the Control Panel>user accounts and clicking on the last link seen on the screen for "Turning the User Control on/off" seen there. That will bring you to the next screen where you simply uncheck the box for this seen there. You then simply click the "ok" button to put that into effect immediately following a system restart if prompted to do so.
Merged into the hate Vista thread.
