People harp on about UAC, but once Vista is installed and all your apps are on you almost never see it and its a great extra layer of security. Tip:- turn it off, install your apps, turn it on, IF it bothers you that much.
So what is it that gets your goat about Vista, from where im sitting, I've been running the 64bit version (arguably the more difficult version of Vista due to it's signed driver requirements) since release, everything works, it looks lovely, its fast and it give me no jip.

The better question would be
Whats right with it.
Specs
amd 5400 x2 processor
3 gig of ddr2 800 ram in duel channel mode
2 300 gig sata drives.
2 ati 1950 gpu
Creative labs Xfi sound card.
All tested and working.
Runs like crap on Vista ultimate
Runs superb on XP, Linux, windows media centre, and server 2003. It never crashes or blue screens on these Os's
So why does it run like a dog on Vista, Why does it blue screen on vista, Why does stuff that worked fine on XP not work on vista. The list goes on. Oh and BTW i have tried 32 and 64 bit versions of vista there both CRAP.
BTW i have worked on Software and Hardware both as a hobby and as a job. I know how to install and configure a pc, I know how to fault find on Software and hardware, I design and install High Speed data networks for Large company's, So i don't think its me. I just cannot wait for Microsoft to fix Vista as it looks very good. Hopefully that MIGHT happen with SP1 but i am not holding my breath on it.
I think Microsoft have done another Windows ME
The best bit is i have a amd 2300 with 1 gig of ram and a Nvidia 5200 gpu that can run XP better and faster than Vista run's on my main machine
