Vista is pretty, that doesn't malke it better by a long shot. In order to run Vista, you have to shell out even more money to upgrade enough to run it decently. I am running an old P4 2.8 GHZ with 2 GB memory and XP runs great. Vista would be as slow as a hog on this.

Well personally, I switched from Vista back to XP. I find Vista doesn't accept most programs I use, and its also a memory eater.

Vista is made for new hardware, theres little to no reason to try running it on old hardware.

Correct !
I am happy Vista Ultimate, but you do need a new system.
I just got a new box and there are no problems with any programs I have installed so far.

2.4 GHz x4 Quad Core
System Memory 2045 MB
Video Adapter GeForce 8800 GTS

You can shut down all the fluff for a standard default install and tune in the workstation.

- The only thing I changed was my e-mail program. Outlook Express is no longer in Vista, so now I am using Windows Live Mail.

Vista is great "if" it's setup properly and you can work out any bugs you may have.... I have been using it for about a year now and love it.

I remember all the people who downgraded to Windows 98. Vista is hands down better than XP.
This is the pinnicel of the cycle of operating system upgrades. "Oh every new version is sooo hated and its nothing but bloat and "stuff"". This is a load and its nothing more then people being afraid of change. I remember when XP came out it was bashed just like Vista. Then when SP-2 for XP came out with its firewall that BROKE many programs and antivirus programs that everyone cryied so much.

I have been running Vista Ultimate RTM for just over 16 months without a single crash or program issue. Vista is designed differently then XP and you just cant go and click "Install" on a program as you need to install software as "Administrator". Thats not difficult but people dont take the time to read I guess!

Vista is sooo much better then XP ever was "hands down"
