Vista sucks ass. I have it. It gives you a security warning for EVERYTHING and sometimes you can't even regulate it. In the beginning, I couldn't even install MSN because apparently it's DEADLY dangerous to your computer, and vista shut it down every time I tried to start it.

In the end, I outdid the computer =) Ahahahah.

Those security warning can be turned off. They may be annoying, but you would be surprised with the amount of morons in the world who just keep clicking ok or continue without reading. It is for the security of idiots that do that. Also, that is completely not true about downloading music. I have Lime wire installed, it was actually the 3rd program to be installed. It runs faster on my Vista machine then it does on my XP machine. The only reason Vista is still not gaining attention is because SP1 is not out. Once it comes out, fire up the credit cards because I am pretty sure all the stores will be sold out. The exact thing happened with XP, it SUCKED when it first came out. Now it has been said to be one of the best. I am running Business on my desktop, and I have installed 2 extra gigs of ram for a total of 3 gigs. Plus a new 8800 GTX video card with DirectX 10, and all I have to say is a Mac has nothing on my Vista PC right now. The video is so amazing that I can just stare at the monitor for hours. Photoshop CS3 runs like a dream on Vista as well. It is absolutely amazing. I have been 110% satisfied with Vista and Office 2007 (Grand total for both was $850.00). I have made some pretty kick a** power points in less than five minutes with very little to no knowledge of power point. I recommend it, but for most people your PCs will need upgrades. Unless you have a nice video card and a gig of ram, don’t even attempt to run it. You will explode.

As for software compatibility, I have installed all my previous software. Only once program did not work. It was Starcraft.

That's the deal-breaker right there.
