Being a PC builder and what I would call a hard core gamer, I do not have any of the above feelings toward the OS. it does offer a few new items I use daily that I didn't have access to in XP. I am sure a SP1 update will be very welcome in regards to a few program instabilities, but overall the OS runs great for what i use it for day in and day out.

I will still refer new builds to XP for the pure fact it is much more streamlined, and no one can deny that. But if someone wants a Vista PC, I just make sure to use components that will work within the system now. I guess I just have the luxury to work around things…
