Man, sorry to hear your problems you got. But Vista is just a crapshoot at the moment. No way I would have it. I would say it will probably be at least 2 years before I move to it. XP is the way to go at the moment.

But for those of you with XP and want the look of Vista. Google the following program, xenomorph_slim.exe. Its bascially a Vista theme for XP. Looks alot like Vista. Its a 38 mg download also.
