Hi,
I've been using Vista since June. I have it installed on my main machine and a spare laptop. It looks good and is stable, although the number of permission requests you get when you want to install/unistall/delete or rename anything is a nightmare.
Setting up a network between Vista and XP machines can be a nightmare as well. Also there is a major lack of drivers for wireless network cards and so on. People have been having problems with graphics drivers and other components as well.
Antivirus programs like Norton don't work, the recommended ones being from Computer Associates and Trend, some users have found that the Trend Antivirus doesn't work either.
Some printers are a problem at the moment as the drivers aren't available for them.
After saying all that it will be a great O/S when all things are sorted out.
Hope that helps.

I've been running Vists beta for three months. My biggest problem is that it will not run several of my programs. I installed it as an upgrade and maybe that is the problen. As for the o/s I like it.

When I first installed Vista it was as an upgrade, it continually crashed. After doing a clean install it runs a lot better, although some of my programs still don't run on it.

I have been Beta testing Vista since December last year, fully, I did try a longhorn build before then, but nothing special.

Since December I have tried about 6 builds, and believe me, Vista has come along way in this short time frame.

When I got the December CTP, I was thinking that Vista would never be ready for the public, it was terribly slow, although it has most of the features there, it crashed all the time, ect.

Now, I can use the latest build stabily as an OS, easily, with minor problems.

I believe that when Vista comes out next year, it will be ready for the public.

Wow, thats a lot of OSes. Hey, have you ever tried using boot camp to run a Linux os on a Mac?

I want to soooo bad, unfortunately, when it was still free, I tried, and it was like "You need more RAM idiot!" Lol, I hate Microsoft...ah well.

Has anyone tried to get Logmein installed on vista? I can't for some reason.

I used logmein on vista with no problems. I did find that when I first installed it that windows Defender picked it up as a problem. Just tell defender to ignore it and Logmein works as it should do.

My one friend has it and is really not enjoying it whatsoever. I think it's one of those things where people need to get used to it just as when Win XP came out.

i downloaded rc1 but well.... what can i say?
ill be moving to debian, lets just leave it at that..................
