Visually nice, functionally horrible

In an effort to make Vista look appealing, you removed so much functionality
that XP had, like reliability. I have to reboot at least once daily now when
with XP rebooting only happened monthly when updates were installed. Things
stop responding and never recover, every reboot I am nervous it may not,
because that alreasdy happened once. Programs just GO AWAY and require
reinstallation. Vista is like walking on eggshells, you never know when it
will break.

XP always ask to reboot when Windows Updates are installed, in fact its
annoying in XP, leave you computer for 4 minutes and it automatically
restarts without your permission, at least in Vista you can postpone
restarting your PC up to 4 hours! As for reliability its hard guage, both XP
and Vista are reliable in my opinion, most cases of unreliability on Vista
or even XP are as a result of poor written device drivers or applications
that do not adhere to new security priviledges.
