I have to agree with cheeseface. However, I do understand where you are coming from Demophobe. I remember all the problems an issues that arose when XP first came out. There were driver and compatibility issues...some games didn't work, etc, etc. But it has matured and become very stable and easy to use.

I guess if Vista survives the driver issues and compatibility problems will be resolved. However, there was a fundamental change with Vista. That was the implementation of all the security measures. Consequently, users like me, who like manipulating system files and changing the ways windows behaves will never fully accept it unless there are some usable hacks in the future.

IMO Vista was designed to handhold the novice user who can't control infection by spyware, viruses, and malware onto their systems. It was designed exclusively to address the many, many, many complaints about viruses and spyware on Windows PCs. This was admirable, but doesn't suit my needs of having a customizable Windows environment.

What is it about Vista that makes the few happy Vista-adopters so adamant about it?

Could you, guys and gals who frequent this forum, stop this childish fighting which OS is the best and which OS "sucks donkey wad", like another poster so imaginatively expressed. Who the fcuk cares? It is an operating system. A tool. Your fighting isn't any more fruitful, productive or helpful than topics about:

- whose dad is the strongest
- whose God is the real god
- there is a god/there is no god
- the most beautiful women/men/inflatable sex dolls come from _____
- if Superman and [insert your favorite hero here] fought, who would win?
- etc.
