i ran vista for about 7 months before switching back to XP pro, vista is incredible..if it had a little bit of work....it uses way too much resources by default, have to disable windows search service before it runs any better, and the more services you stop the better it runs, but after you stop so many...you lose all the awesome features you gain from vista, so im gonna stick with XP till sp1 comes out ( supposed to be by the end of the year...but hell, i dont think its gonna happen ) till i go back to vista, plus alot of programs have issues, programs that i use and have to have for work....
