Works for me, interesting parody that seems to include far too much truth.

ON a brand new high end puter with 2 Gb RAM it should be fine but to put in
on a one year old XP puter could give problems I think.

im using home premium on the new lappy, and ive got business running on the desktop.  At the moment im forcing myself to put up with it, but ive got a few niggles.  The lappy isnt given much in the way of demanding tasks, and it copes fine.  However the desktop i game on, and im constantly cursing it for crashing out on me.  GA : San Andreas is crashing out of boredom (It has never crashed for me in XP or XP64).  The damn thing complained loudly when I upgraded to the 7.11 Catalyst drivers, and then bombed on me until i rolled back to the 7.10s.  My "HD Audio" isnt working properly, despite the fact it works perfectly in XP and XP64.  The network copying problem isnt a myth either.  Its slower than a salted slug, and ive taken to copying from the server to the desktop, or using the XP Laptop as thats quicker.  

Overall it works, just not the standard it _should_ work at.

Our support office is using Vista, and aside from niggles getting used to interface redesign, Ive not seen a single problem with it.

Seems fast enough too.

Last night i decided enough was enough.  Im flattening the hard disk and installing only XP on my desktop.  Ive just had enough of the damned thing.  If you are doing general day-to-day tasks then its perfectly fine, but the moment you start gaming Vista goes to sh*t.  Ill leave Vista on the lappy though, itll be fine there.  I just want my games not to die for no reason!

Still think if MS want games for windows to kick off properly keep xp updates going till next os comes out and admit vista as a flop in this regard and port dx10 to xp and they would get loads more sales from games in the next year or so as more games use dx10
