__._,_.___Well I know one thing - I can always trust this group to have the opposite opinion of the masses. You are the only people I have EVER heard say Vista is any good. Bearing in mind I have been defending Vista myself. That said, are either of you guys running Vista 64bit? I'm starting to wonder if its just that version which sucks. Its annoying, as accessing large files IS faster on Vista x64 (as it should be in 64bit) but overall general use it is less responsive. Alex.

I ran XP on it at first. Vista beta came out and I dual booted both OS's. Within a month, I ditched XP all together and clean installed Vista on it and have never looked back. My computer was faster, more responsive and of course looked better with Vista.

I like the interface, I hate the bloat. Just try to convince me 16GB is necessary for a basic Windows install! Go on! Alex.
