I guess I'm of the minority opinion but I love Vista!
As a computer hobbyist I've built probably 70 computers or more for 
family and friends.

Dont get me wrong, XP is still great as well.

It seems it takes a good two years for MS to refine a new OS to the 
point where it is stable for everyone. It took years for diehard 98 
fans to finally make the switch to XP. (the XP to Vista jump is not 
that dramatic however)

I think Vista is there, at least for me. With tweaks and cautious 
application installs it is a very secure and stable OS.
Sometimes it's applications and resident memory programs that cause all 
the trouble, especially on preconfigured installs from the big boys. 
When I get a preconfigured puter I always get rid of all the extra 
useless stuff and usually just boil it down to the basics. Most of the 
time I just reformat and install my own OS to make sure I get right.

Anyway I vote for both XP and Vista.
