I tried Vista for 44 days for free and I nearly threw up. Everything that I downloaded asked me 3 questions before I could have access to them. The first was run, save, or cancel. Then it would ask me to cancel or allow. And then it would ask me to cancel or allow AGIAN as if I wasn't sure I clicked the right button the first time. Most of my software can run on Vista, but they run as slow as a 1982 Dell Inspiron. Games that I was getting 20-30 fps I'm now getting 2-5 fps. Flight Simulator X to be one of them. God only knows if the game will even run if I try to put up the scenery. Even on the back of most boxes on the OS requirement notice how the Vista RAM is two times higher than Xp. It's a RAM eater. Xp was no dream OS, but I would rather have Xp home than any kind of Vista. Even though it will take 5 years, just wait for the next OS to come out. Hopefully Microsoft learned something out of this all.
