But he has mentioned that, if I find anything significant, I should tell him. For him, this is a sign of discontent. I read the article, and it echos what I have heard before about peripherals & Vista. After reading, I noticed the article was dated July 14th. As it is 3 1/2 months later, is there a followup? Is Vista aligning itself better, have people given up and 1)reverted to Vin XP, 2) bought newer peripherals, 3) crossed over to Linux? In terms of frustration and the impact of things not playing nicely with one another, 3 1/2 months is a decent amount of time. What has changed?

I think the usual 'get the latest stuff' crowd are jumping the bandwagon, while more experienced users still stick with xp. It's becomming a fanboi issue. That's my impression at least. Don't see much point besides the directx 10 stuff. Reading all kinds of negative reviews. I'll wait patiently for sp1 and then I'm on it like a fly. My hopefully pretty well documented cents.

I also don't like how some games coming out for the pc are Vista only like Halo 2, and Shadowrun. Well, Shadowrun was a shame that it was Vista exclusive, but don't worry about Halo 2 Its not worth it. Thier implimenting Xbox live where you have to pay on that too.
