I posted that VistaU was ROCK SOLID on my machine. Even though I am an
expert I do not usually go about bragging about it. But for the record I
would tend to say that MOST, not all, but most people that are having
problems with Vista probably have the basic knowledge of hardware but not
much more.
I run old apps, new apps and have never had even one problem that couldn't
be solved with the proper problem solving skills. My machine is homebuilt as
are all 7 of my other machines. The one exception is my Dell laptop.
I have an Abit Fatal1ty AA8XE mobo

As anyone can see this system is by no means new or really the best of
anything. But it is ROCK SOLID with VistaU. It has been my experience that
99% of people having problems with Vista is because of HARDWARE not the
OS!!!
If Vista works for me as well as MANY MANY others then the OS is solid.
Granted there have been driver issues but DRIVERS make hardware work, if you
do not have Vista compatible hardware or the right drivers to make that
hardware work, then you WILL have problems. The other 1% of problems can be
traced to HEAT issues or power supply issues.
The flame wars going on in this NG is way out of control. Clearly there are
two sides to the issue of weather or not Vista is a good OS. The way I see
it is that IF Visa was so bad then it wouldn't work for the MAJORITY of
people, but that is clearly not the case. Most expert users have very few
issues with Vista on the other hand most users that CLAIM to be experts but
are not, are the ones that hate Vista.
