Quote - I was going to update to Vista But now I'll wait and see what other Vista user have to say:(

 
honestly it seems fine in my hands. I don't use the pc for gaming but did toss on Battlefront 2 and such.
i had to turn off the yappy 'are you sure you want to run this' system. but overall it is pretty nice. 
i did just simply go out to bestb*y and pick up a preconfigured box, and then ripped a bunch of the free ware off it and added avast virus. 
things do seem to work just fine.

Having said this, it was a major hardware update (1-> 2 gb ram, athelon 2400+ to 2.4 ghz dual core, plus some nicer graphics card) and this was a box certified to run with vista home or whatever. 

I will say for the first time I actually have been able to edit 90 minute movies (Pinnacle studio 10.x) and do cloth simulations and not have to wait for an entire weekend so the new hardware is very nice at least and seems to handle my two main applications.

I am wondering if one can just walk into a store and ask them to do a practical demo and slap down the poser disk...  :D
