A lot of people are quick to say that Vista is crap, however I think its a combination of people who can not / don't want to adapt to a bit of change, and people trying to run it on systems that just aren't powerful enough..
my desktop pc is a quad core 3ghz, 8gb of ram and has 2x 1gb video cards + 3Tb of hdd space. and at present, the system has been up for 87 days...

Alex, you have to remember that most people don't have your skills with a computer to be able to tweak their OS to run well with their computers. Most also haven't bought a computer for a year or more so their system's probably can't run Vista well enough, if at all. Plus you're right about people who don't want to or can't change OSes....and why should they. Just because Uncle Bill thinks it's great to change everything on your computer to run the new OS, and close support for the others, doesn't mean that joe average should go out and pay $$$ to do so. We're not all multi-billionaires or all that interested (or cashed up ) to do so. If he thinks it's great, then let him and those that can, do it. What about the myriad of people in places like Africa and such who still run computers with OSes like Win95/98 and can't afford XP/Vista or top flight computers??. Do we just ignore them and let them wallow in their "ignorance". Some people are just happy they can get a computer at all. I have an old Celeron 400MHz computer sitting at home which I still use...runs Win98. Does everything some modern, you beaut "supercomputer" can do except all the fancy graphics and such. But it does all the basic stuff well. That's what a lot of people have. Why should they change if it works.
I like your comps specs, but not everyone can afford a computer like that!!!!
