Back to Vista, I agree with Purify. It is a very buggy OS. Part of my RL job is Vista research & development of our software. The more I learn about Vista, and how to make our software compatible, the more I hate it.
For instance, they have the new "UAC (User Account Control)". For testing I installed Vista, then immediately turned off UAC, and then installed Microsoft Office 2007, drivers, and anything else I needed.
The next day, when I tried to open my email in Microsoft Outlook 2007, it told me I did not have permission to open the file where my email was stored.
I couldn't open my email until I turned on UAC and rebooted my PC.
Their own feature jacks up their own software. (You turn off UAC if you want to run software in a XP Security compatible way).
My next instance was I started fresh again, but this time left UAC on. Installed everything, ran updates from Windows.
3 days later after install, I hadn't installed anything new, hadn't ran any Windows updates. I turn off the PC, and go home (using proper shutdown methods). The computer turned off fine.
The next morning, I turn it back on, log into Vista, and a couple of seconds after initial startup, it BSODed on me.
Please note that I hadn't changed any OS settings, had not installed any new software, drivers, or windows updates. Nothing had changed on my end. I had properly shutdown the PC the day prior.
So I figured I'd try to figure out why it was BSODing, so I booted into Windows Safe Mode. I log in, and it immediately BSODed.
So whatever was causing the PC to BSOD was a Windows startup service (because in Safe mode only core Windows services are supposed to startup).
Vista is invariably junk.
For every one (1) person who is happy with Vista, and not having any OS problems (yet), there is nine (9) more people who are not happy with Vista because it runs less reliably than XP.
