Vista isn't bad at all, it does have some issues but no more than Windows 98 did, or Windows XP did when they were first released. Most of the issues people have suffered are through gaming. This isn't entirely Vista's fault either, it's to do with some driver issues or lack of from GFX card manufacturers. I can tell you now, my next PC upgrade will be a Vista machine. DX10 is were it's at.

I agree it is wrong to make your copy of XP invalid through using this Vista coupons thing. I did hate Vista when i first read about it, I now feel it's on the right track.
