i have vista sp1 running on my laptop and as of yet other than a crash with my dvb tuner i havent had any problems i know it was down to my drivers being for xp but its a pain in the ass as i cant find any vista drivers for it

It's running ok!

Yeah, but Windows can run on any hardware, so Mac OSX should be able to also. I heard that the best PC to run Vista is a Macbook Pro, so that explains why people have less issues with macs, and that's that vista was not designed to run on macs.

bc: what was the system specs and the System Score? I have have a good system with 2GB of RAM and a system score of 5, and it's fine.

In 5 months of using Vista, I've only seen 3 blue screens of death and they were all caused by me trying the same thing with a 3rd-party program 3 times. (This was fixed by upgrading and/or by reinstalling the program.) The screen has gone blank occasionally, but that's probably the graphics driver. Vista has frozen up only twice, much less often than what I was used to. Take it from someone who went straight from Me to Vista: Windows Vista is not Windows Me II.

Sounds like Vista is working pretty well for you Josh. :) I think that 99% of the issues with Vista are because people use a computer that's too old, or they installed bad drivers, as many drivers for vista seem to be flawed, such as the NVIDIA graphics drivers, which caused issues on my PC.

well i dont have vista, but 2 of my friends bought a PC and they're always complaining about vista. Im going to buy a laptop soon so i hope it works fine on it.

My Vista machine has never had a problem - never crahsed, dropped a program, etc...

Good to hear that many people are running Windows Vista without problems. Guess this is proof that Vista isn't bad like most people like to say.
