Well like you said anyone can post anything and I don't really have to prove anything. But I do try to steer people clear of Windows Vista. There are a few reasons why: first of all I've had my own share of bad experiences with Windows Vista . I ran it on my personal system from February of 2007 until November of 2007. Just a few of the many issues I had, other than driver issues, which I expected were slow file copy, extremely slow processing of the compressed files, random freezing, and program incompatibility issues. Even when said programs were supposedly Vista capable. Second thing: I am a computer technician by trade, and have personally worked on 35 to 40 Vista systems. Of these, only one customer said that they were happy with Windows Vista. The rest had complaints ranging from extremely slow system to random freezing to program incompatibility issues. I spoke with a fellow tech at the local shop. He informed me that they had sold over 500 systems that came with Vista preinstalled. So far 190 systems have been brought back with the customers wanting XP in place of Windows Vista. Again these are just my personal experiences and those of fellow technicians. As of right now. I don't recommend Windows Vista, anymore than I do Norton AntiVirus. In my opinion, it still has quite a long way to go before it is a viable Windows XP replacement.
