I installed it a while back and found that half of the drivers
for my hardware was unavailable,it is also resource hungry and
overly security conscious.
I re-installed XP,no problems again.

It becomes each to his or her own, I have used Vista 64 bit for a
couple of years now and it is superb on my machine, but in February
decided to try XP64 bit to see whether my perceptions of vista were
coloured by familiarity. I found Xp 64bit to be difficult to find
drivers for, and that it was much slower on my machine than the
comparable Vista 64bit, so within days I went back to Vista.

I have Vista, and had NO problems getting it to work,
and it works FAR better than ANY previous version, and I
WAS a VERY happy user of W2K for MANY years.

Good for you, but a system without drivers is a waste of space,
for me.There's plenty of folk like me who've had similar stories
with Vista.

I have heard a LOT of people complain about different things
in Vista. I've asked for details, and almost NEVER gotten
any.

WHAT device or devices did YOU fail to find drivers for?

After reading several "Bod" posts, I'd assume he couldn't find any.
