# Vista isn't so bad once you're used to it
But it BREAKS EVERYTHING

It's like they've just decided to fuck everything else, this is what we're going with and it's a clean slate. By itself it's a young but fairly decent OS, but it's compatible with pretty much nothing that existed before about 6 months after its launch

# I've not used XP for a long time
but was it not the same for that? I thought that gifs had to open in your browser. Mine always have.

# It did do animated gifs,
but not necessarily at the same speed as any internet browser.

# Infranview is superior anyway.
Photo Gallery takes an age to start for me.

I should say though, that after nuking Vista from orbit and starting again it's been very nice to me. I had to install Launchy on my XP machine though because I kept trying to type on the start menu...

# I love Vista now
after a shaky start. I run Ultimate 64 bit on one machine and Ultimate 32 bit on another. The 64 bit still has too many compatibility issues to be perfect but it's getting there. SP1 has been a godsend.

# I did try the SP1 RC
and it did fix lots of stuff, like the network buggery you mention above. Unfortunately it killed Hibernation and the whole machine was Proper Shafted soon after.

# I'm up for anything that kills hibernation.
it is the first thing I disable on any M$ OS. Personal choice though.
