Ranting aside... the one point you make, without trying to make it, is that
folks need to do due diligence prior to moving to Vista. Folks with home
grown systems need to understand that there may be problems.

I've been running Vista, blah-blah-blah, for 10 months now. I like it. Works
for me. Many improvements over XP. Desktop now drawn by DirectX freeing up
system RAM to work for the CPU. Better memory management without doubt. Less
crashes, at least here.

Biggest issue, and everyone here knows it: drivers. Got a buggy driver?
Yeah, life sux.

You're correct; many folks should probably stay with XP for the time being.
But not because Vista sucks. Because they don't have Vista drivers for their
hw. Or their sw is not Vista ready. Don't blame Vista for third party
issues.
