Things get worse when folks start reviewing the 64 bit version. I don’t think vista is all that bad for a typical windows user. I would consider myself to be a power user and I do use my computer for heavy duty video-editing and programming.

I had a Windows XP box before. I had a Belkin print router which was connected to two HP printers, Logitech web cam,HP Media Vault and Logitech Blue tooth speakers.

I purchased a 64 bit Vista Ultimate box from HP with 6 GB RAM. Every single device I had connected works without any issues now. Vista even downloaded drivers for most of those devices without any issues.The bluetooth Keyboard and mouse installed automagically when I had to struggle to make them work in my XP box. I installed iTunes( there is no integration with IPhone but it is not Microsoft’s fault), muvee auto producer, Eclipse and NetBeans.

I installed the 64 bit flavors of IE , Firefox(minefield) and ITunes and they are lightning fast.

My verdict is Vista has come a long way and if you get a pre-installed box from HP or Dell you might like Vista.
