[citation][nom]David Gerard[/nom]Vista's slow, it's fat, my software doesn't work, I can't get drivers, the User Access Control's a pain in the ass and my network grinds to a crawl when I play an mp3! What do you call that?""... The Aristocrats!"[/citation]Either your system sucks or you don't know what your doing. Turn off UAC and add some ram. People complained about Windows XP for the same reasons you are when it first came out. Microsoft doesn't release an OS for specifications of todays PC's, they release OS's for tomorrow's specs. Microsoft moves the industry foward. The same people that complain about having to upgrade their computer for Vista are the same people that complain PC games aren't up to snuff because they're designed to work on mainstream pc's. Obviously many people are running Vista just fine, so anything causing your system to run slow is not related to Vista. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and the only driver issue I had was on first install. Took 2 seconds to fix it and turn off UAC. As for the software being bloated, I could can't notice and could give a crap, my sytem can take it. Besides, Leopard takes up just as much space as Vista and I don't hear anyone complain about that. If your PC can't run Vista stop your bitching and use XP until you upgrade, or take out a loan and buy an overrated, over priced, pretty-boy Mac.
