My comment:
Im posting this to the XP newsgroup too, just so they can be even more
warned about how bad vista is, and to avoid it.
I still cannot understand how stupid some vista fanboys like frank and
others are about vista.
Here all the world is saying vista is crap, yet they put their fingers in
their ears and march to their own microsoft vista tune!

Do you think Windows Vista is slow, crash-prone, or unreliable? Join the
crowd.
Over the past year, reviews of Windows Vista by mainstream media outlets,
the technical press, bloggers, and ordinary users have been, for the most
part, scathing. And many of those bad reviews were absolutely accurate. My
co-authors and I just completed an extensive post-Service Pack 1 revision of
our book Windows Vista Inside Out. Over the past year, we installed,
upgraded, and used Windows Vista on a broad cross-section of hardware
designs from nearly a dozen manufacturers. During that time, we experienced
some of those same performance, reliability, and compatibility issues
ourselves. What we found was simple: With a clean install on well-supported
hardware, everything worked just fine. But toss in an incompatible
application or a flaky video, storage, or network driver, and performance
could suffer. Badly.
Over the past year or so, we have also observed steady and occasionally
dramatic improvements in the Windows ecosystem. Most of the large issues in
Windows Vista were effectively resolved by a series of updates delivered via
Windows Update, including more than 500 fixes that were rolled up into
Service Pack 1. Third-party hardware makers, many of whom were slow to get
working Vista drivers out the door, have since released updates that can
make a huge difference in the Vista experience.
