Lol...Vista does suck....But I hear people saying "Oh it's the best! Etc etc... 
Hate to say to all the nay sayers, VISTA IS DA BOMB. I have Ultimate 64 and it is SWEET. Most issues come from peeps runnin old machines trying to use new software. It is like putting a V6 in a corvette. Also almost all penguin peeps hate it but they will never really like any Windows stuff. If Mac would port every game, I would run it like YESTURDAY. But once they dropped their RISC chip, they lost all respect from the REAL Mac guys. Leopard is still a sweet OS and would love to build a Hackintosh and run some real clock cycles. Anyway.. <-- Steps off his soap box. NEXT!!!!!!!!

True dat. This is coming from a former vista hatemonger too. I could list a million reasons why people should not use it.
But service pack 1 has come out, and Vista is much more stable than XP, with more features, and more speed. It's awesome, and I loves it. In fact, I don't have a single program that requires XP any more.
The problem is not Vista, it's all the other programs. See, older windows were really buggy. It's why viruses were so easy to write. Microsoft, however, was in a bad place: they knew what had to be fixed, but tons of legitimate programs were written badly; they DEPENDED on these security holes in order to work. You plug a hole... BLAM! Computer Dead.
So 2000 had almost all the holes that NT4 did. And XP had almost all of 2000's holes. The XP solution was to have a million billion "patches", and if you downloaded a patch that broke your specific program, you removed the patch.
But here's the problem. The world is now bigger than "My Computer" and "Network Neighborhood." Having an unpatched Windows box attached to the Internet is like sending your kid to school even though she's a flu virus factory.
Botnets? Yeah, they depend on XP computers for their lifeblood. Viruses? Spyware? All love XP.
That isn't to say that Vista is invulnerable, but Vista is your kid with shots.
Microsoft, with Vista, got sick and tired of being picked on because "Windows Sucks" and "Windows = Virus" and "Look at all those security bugs!" and "Microsoft writes crap software!" Microsoft was constrained by OTHER PEOPLES CRAP SOFTWARE to be stuck with the security holes. Microsoft said "Screw it!" and rewrote a significant amount of Vista.
Microsoft then gave developers years (remember, Vista was laaaaaaate) to clean up their act and rewrite their drivers and software to not suck. But, no, those programmers didn't, so when you upgraded to Vista your programs broke.
And who's fault was that? The crappy programmers who wrote bad programs because they knew shortcuts EVEN THOUGH the Windows manuals told them DONT DO IT WE CANT GUARANTEE THE SYSTEM WILL WORK IF YOU DONT DO IT THE RIGHT WAY? Nope, it's MICROSOFT for "breaking things."
I'd prefer a secure Windows with a few insecure programs broken, then to keep perpetuating the cycle of crappy Windows infrastructure abused by malware writers.
Penguin Peeps who actually know their crap (for example: ME), opposed to Penguin Peeps who have an agenda (for example: Richard Stallman) or Junior Penguin Peeps who became P. P.s because they like bashing Microsoft think Vista is a couple hundred steps and a train ride in the right direction. Sure, it's not perfect, but Microsoft has to do something that no other OS distribution has to: they have to trust software writers not to screw up.
In Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Arch... any linux distro, the distro writers can doublecheck any software they put into the software repository for that system to make sure it will "play safe." If you install your own crap, you're responsible for your own problems if it breaks emerge.
Not so with Windows. Except for signed drivers, Microsoft has NO CONTROL over what you install. Which includes crappy programs, badly written drivers, etc. But the humorous part is that everyone blames MICROSOFT because of bugs written by ATI in their drivers! LOL!
Switching to Vista is like switching to Linux Vista isn't a "new version of XP". Vista is a "new version of the Windows Platform." Which means things change fundamentally. This same bruhaha happened with XP, 2000, NT3, Win98, Win95, WIndows 3.11 for Workgroups, etc, etc, etc... except there wasn't an internet for millions of uninformed people to go VISTA SUX LOL and build a consensus based on hearsay, not actual facts.
Just like switching to Linux, some things work the same, some programs can run under WINE, and some programs have to be ditched and new ones relearned. If you refuse to upgrade, fine, stick with XP. But in about a year Microsoft won't be supporting it anymore, and unlike Linux, you can't just take the source code and fix it yourself.
If you don't like that, switch to Linux. Otherwise, please don't complain. Thank you
</soap-box>MAYBE!

It's funny because it's true.
HAHAHAH I was like when is it going to end, how much stuff are they going to think of. Man they really thought of a lot of bashes for that vid, nice work.
I use vista and I have no problems. Indeed you have to be a little more advanced in order to manipulate the settings so it does not annoy you, but once that is done is runs like a champ.
