well, i got my vista running pretty much just as smoothly as xp ran... i don't realy have any problems with it anymore... it really is just a matter of ironing out the kinks of it... and of course having a pc powerful enough to actually run it.... vista really is a resource hog...

anyways... there are still a copule of annoyances, but they are extremely minor and extremely rare.... honestly, could have the same exact problems in XP...

just like with most great things, they require a bit of tinkering to get them to work like you want and expect them too.... there are very few things thta don't require some type of set-up and is 100% perfect and configured straight outta the box.... and none of those few things are electronics, atleast recent ones...
