My experiences of vista? Generally good. I've run it on various machines (I am part of a group evaluating it at work) ranging from 2Ghz p4s up to 3.6 Ghz P4s, and various Core based machines. The only machine it has issues with is my machine at home, but as far as I can work out, that is due to a combination of my graphics card (Geforce 8800GT) and monitor (Viewsonic vx2025wm). Basically, the issue is that with any version of the Nvidia drivers > 100, the Graphics card won't output via DVI to that monitor (it outputs to my 17inch Samsung LCD fine though, and will work with the Viewsonic via VGA).

Unlike Ubuntu, which won't even start on my core 2 at home.
