# Vista is quite nice, actually.
It just gets trolled to fuck. Like macs.
I can't confirm if it's any good for gaming, but for what I use my laptop for it's much nicer than XP.

# Vista is just like windows ME
A stopgap OS to keep Microshaft quids in. It's a huge public beta test.

# No, ME was an abomination that didn't work.
Vista's not even in the same league.
Usability-wise it's much nicer than xp, and just as stable. This is personal experience, of course, and your mileage may vary. I wouldn't recommend it for businesses.

# Got warned away from it from my IT guy
on account of speed and other issues; I suspect someone will now discredit this; though I will hold his advice

The speed i'm experiencing is simply incredibable

# Nope he's right
Vista is a resource hog. We're sticking with XP til Vienna is released.
