I don't have troubles with Vista,its running just fine. I also used the Vista upgrade adviser before i upgraded. It said my processor should be replaced, i have a 3.40 P4 W/HT. I do plan on getting a new board and the new core 2 processor in the future. But for now its running just fine. I can play Battlefield 2142 with no problems and Oblivion runs great too along with Battlefield 2 and all the upgrade packs.Those are the only games i have so i cant speak for anything else

My Internet connection stayed the same, 16582 Down and 985 Up Comcast Cable, zoom zoom :). Poser 7 runs fine, it has some bug but it had bugs on XP, Hex 2 runs fine,Carrara 5 runs fine, though i have to use the native import. I had to upgrade my Nero because it wasn't compatible and PSP8 which Corel says isn't compatible runs great lol, so i don't understand that one. 

So as far as Vista being Useless,thats just BS. Oh and i bought the Vista Premium and the Dream Scenes are awesome. I Bought it because i want all the features Vista has to offer,even if i don't use them all.Its a personal choice :)
