I honestly just don't know how Vista happened. I would have thought MS would learn their lesson with Windows ME vs. 2000, which they seemed to when they made XP the single choice successor to both. I've been running Vista now for 3 or 4 months at least and it is just nothing exciting or interesting whatsoever. It's slower, more resource hungry, more finnicky, and programs run *worse* not *better*. I have had some crashes, no more or less really than XP, but programs routinely do not work as they should. And this is on a quad core system with 8GB of RAM and a Geforce 8800GTS graphics card. Everything about my system should run Vista fine. I'm going back to XP x64 soon, thank god...
