annoying problems with it. Granted, those problems are most likely driver
and software problems not caused by Vista itself, more by the fact that the
developers of the drivers/software haven't totally figured it out yet.
Like I said, I am using Vista 64bit so perhaps that is my mistake. However I
was using it to edit large video files so 64bit was an advantage for that -
you can seek in large files much faster.
I will certainly go back to Vista once someone writes some WORKING Blu-ray
playback software. But PowerDVD HD outright refused to output 5.1 for
Blu-ray on Vista but works fine on XP. Well, as fine as PowerDVD ever
does. ;-)
