    So far excellent and is what Vista should have been.

    I've got Vista and I cannot possibly slag it off enough. It really is a truly appaling version of Windows, absolute, total ****. It is undoubtably the worst platform since that god awful ME version about 9 years ago.

    It's a diabolical operating system - too unstable

    XP still knocks spots off it

    And still there are many applications that dont run on it

    We have several business apps that still dont work on vista which means we are stuck on XP in the office for the forseable future. Not actually an issue as it works but does make buying new PC's a bit of a pain. One reason we buy Dells as they still ship with XP installed.
    We had to mess around deinstalling vista on a couple of Sony Vaios which was a pain. be interested to see if Windows 7 works better.

    I've had it two months now and it's been fine

    After all the moaning I'd heard I wasn't too sure if it was the right choice.</p>

    Thing is I can't actually see where they improved anything. Sure they've changed lots of stuff, moved it around so it's harder to find and takes a few months to get your head around.</p>

    I can't see where it's better than XP though, just seems to be different ... for difference sake ... or mabye it's for selling training courses sake</p>
