okay, here's my stance on Vista. i had vista for a total of 6 days before i removed it and put XP back. here's a few reasons:

1. my computer is not fast enough. i would not suggest upgrading to this system unless you have recently spent an upwards of $800 on building a pc or else you will not see very good performance.

2. it offers nothing at the moment that XP doesn't. until everyone starts using directx 10 for games, there is literally no reason to upgrade to Vista. the driver support for some is shaky, while I personally have not encountered any problems.

3. my activation crack fucked up and i couldn't get it to work. this is mostly due to me being a complete retard when it comes to simple things. i believe that speaks for itself.

all in all, i don't hate Vista. i certainly do not want it right now though. being that the most likely course of action will be that DX10 will be cracked and ported to XP, i don't see going to Vista for a very long time. my perspective could possibly change though considering i just got my first job and will have a steady income of money to build a nice computer with.

i can't believe i just gave an unbiased opinion of Vista. what the fuck has happened to me over the years..?
