It sucks.
I had a harder time going from 2000 to XP then I did XP to Vista. Ive actually gotten more MSDOS games to work under Vista then I could under XP.

Drivers are entirely the vendors fault. MS can not write drivers for everything out there, its just not feasible. Most of the vendors had well over a year to write drivers, and most just decided not to. That aside, when I installed Vista, it had generic drivers to run every peice of hardware in my machine, and grabbed the specific drivers within the first 5 minutes of it running.

Vista had alot better start then XP, and is alot better OS then XP. I dreaded the switch to XP from 2000, it was going from a solid OS to a peice of crap, and it wasnt until just after SP1 that XP was actually stable enough and worked well enough that it was worthwhile using. Until that point, it was like a rehash of ME.

I literally had to save a batch file that ran all the scripts to change the configuration of XP on a new install becuase it took too long to do manually, and I reinstall every 3-4 months to keep things squeaky clean.
