But that's your opinion mate
If you like windows vista then its cool cause you seem to know to get around these problems. There are people out there that don't know how to work around the issues..Remember not everyone is as computer focused as we are.

If I had to let my mom use vista..she would get really upset with all the little pop ups and "are you sure you wanna allow this blah blah" not to mention the fact that some of her hardware isn't vista compatible(try explaining this to your mom and see how far you get) and some of her beloved games didn't work on vista. That's why she still uses Xp and she loves it..its easy and user friendly, everything Vista isn't

As far as performance goes..I own a really really good gaming pc and it runs better on windows 7. Im not saying that cause I prefer windows 7, im saying it cause ive owned windows vista and there is a performance difference!!

We spend thousands on computer hardware to play games and work as fast and fluent as possible, definirly not to have the OS suck more than 21% of our ram and other hardware just to run itself.

My brother in law is a senior system developer blah blah architect god(can't remember his exact title) The guy is probably the most intellegent person I have ever met(he earns the salary to prove that lol) and he says vista was a failure and that 70% of all major companies still prefer windows xp over vista.

Even Microsoft has admitted that Xp has been its most successful Os ever!!
