I hate people who bash vista just because they can. Just because it won't work on their (old) pcs. Just because everyone else is doing it. Just because they have nothing better to do.
Vista is a really good OS. I find it worth every penny. All the apps work fine on it. There is an occasional odd ball though. Its just because the app was badly coded. If a game isn't working, there is a small upgrade patch to solve your problems most of the time though none of the games I had needed them.
There are a few lazy companies who haven't created their apps/drivers for their hardware etc correctly.
Yahoo (for messenger), Pinnacle (for TV card support) and NVIDIA (for Graphic card drivers) are some of them.
Yahoo seems to have forgotten about the Vista version of messenger which was supposed to use Expression.
Pinnacle has been working on it for 8 months. They have a few things out but if you have a really old card (mine is 4 years old) then probably you will have a few issues. There are other 3rd party apps that work perfectly though viz. K!TV
NVIDIA is letting out monthly betas of the graphics drivers. They seem to be improving
Lets hope they make a perfect driver soon enough. One which doesn't make you uninstall some other driver to install or one that doesn't lag games randomly at times
This is retrospect is nothing considering the number of features you have at your disposal. I would say, from a technical standpoint, Vista is certainly worth the upgrade. From a financial one, its up to you to decide but I for one felt its well worth the price you pay

Please don't. It is comments like that which make new users fear it. It is comments like that which make newbies walk around bitching about vista when in reality they haven't even used it for more than 5 minutes.
