iv tried vista many times and for all of them its been a nightmare. complex computing tasks such as playing a game while playing music AT THE SAME TIME would couse my system to crash. i tried several players, they all do the same. this was probably the most annoying bug iv had but there have been several and lot of the little vista quirks which are just frustrating.
I've done this all the time even since the early Betas of Vista, perhaps you had a faulty driver or hardware?
DX10 prehaps, which i would like to point out has no valid reason why it cant be implemented on XP.MS gave a valid reason why DX10 wouldnt be on XP however game devs refused to code DX10 games on vista so they had to implement it or at least parts of it. to the exstend where is now no valid reason it cant be implemented.
I'm sorry... but you're talking about things you clearly don't understand.

Anyway, while I believe most of the Vista bashing comes from Apple Fanboys (not regular users, just the loud-mouth fanatics which unfortunately seem to be the majority these days) and people who haven't even used Vista (for example, my brother, who I know for a fact has never used Vista "hates" it) the video "interviews" on that site look very scripted.
