That is all

that is all | What software were you using? Was the software crashing or was it Vista.
I have Vista on a Sony VAIO laptop that I bought right when Vista came out. While I don't like Vista (mainly the way the Explorer windows work now), it has never crashed on me. I don't use it for much though. I've done some recording on it with Sonar and I watch TV and DVDs on it.

Vista has plenty of things wrong with it, and I for one will not be defending it anytime soon, but the whole trolling cult of Mac thing gets pretty tired when you say it "crashes every ten minutes" as if that had nothing to do with the user.

- Dave | MS office and firefox.
it was like someone gave the machine acid. the toolbar for office was there with the firefox window and i had an address bar and status bar on MS office. then it started flipping back and forth between the two windows without me wanting it to. then it would die

But hey, do what you want.

I thought it was going to be bad, but I have had zero problems with it.

It looks like Vista SP1 is pretty stable for those of you who haven't installed it yet.

Using the same logic you used, every Vista doesn't crash. |

I HATE Vista. It is takes a fortnight to load up on initial startup, and here recently it has been locking up with "not responding"......the HD making the "thinking" noise almost constantly. That might be a problem with the hard drive itself, but it's present about 50% of the time.
A couple blue screens of death.
None of my video editing programs work on vista, and I have to spend a fortune to use office at the end of this month to keep using the programs I NEED, and already had a working copy on office 97 which is all I need.
I strongly believe I will be asking for an XP downgrade from my machine manufacturer at the end of this month when my office software asks for money.

While the operating system is a resource hog at times, I expect it to develop nicely with impending service packs. |

Consider this a warning. DON'T DO IT AGAIN. And BTW, I am a Linux user, so I have no horse in this particular race.
