It's little wonder with bugs like this that Vista has been nicknamed the new ME and one third of Vista users apparently have downgraded to XP. If I didn't need Vista to make the most of the Quad core CPU it would be gone in a flash.

Vista isnt the best O/S ever, that said, Vista with SP1 is hugely better, and much much more stable.

i use a variety of O/S on my equipment.
