Don't have SP1 yet but so far have actually enjoyed it. Was very suprised by this. No major complaints although I haven't tried to do any real heavy lifting with it.

Secondly, Microsoft said the solution was to wait for VS 2008 - That's NOT as solution, because 2008 was not yet out. Our company (mostly just me) wasted two weeks on Vista before I finally said 'screw it' and loaded our LAST license of XP... <br /> <br /> All is well now.<br /> <br /> Vista was such a disappointment (not that I expected much) but the trade-off in stability and performance is simply unacceptable for an "Upgrade". I've recently installed Sabayon Linux on my friend's new PC - and it puts Vista, OSX, and everything I've ever seen completely to shame. I mean SPANKS them with an 'ugly stick'! Never have I witnessed such beautiful 3D desktopness - and certainly never expected it to be a Linux distro that would do it. And the kicker, is it's free. Never shall I purchase a Microsoft OS again (even OEM installs may be wiped out in my future). Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:41:45 GMT JacobMunoz
