I've got my filthy hands on Vista (import from America, it's like half price). Don't know if I really want to upgrade just yet though 'cuz I've got some issues with it still...

- Can you turn off that piss annoying security thing that crops up whenever you virtually do anything?
- Can you uninstall bloatware like IE7 and WMP?
- Can you instal it on a Fat32 drive?
- Can you turn off the way newly opened Windows sort of fly into the screen? Or just make it look and function like XP?

I suppose lastly and most importantly; is Vista secure? It's sort of paramount really.

- Yes http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/04/23/how-to-disable-or-enable-vista-user-access-control-in-command-prompt/
- Probably not without causing major errors. IE7 you certainly won't be able to.
- You can't run greater than (I think Windows 2000NT/ME) on the FAT32 format system. Has to be NTFS.
- Don't know because I haven't gathered the courage / stupidity to step in to the world of Vista yet

I'm not seeing much at the moment either. Sorta feels half-assed. XP is a much smoother experience. Looks like I'll be waiting for SP2 then

I don't like Vista because its a resourse hog. I don't like microsoft because they won't make directX 10 for Xp. Just recently, it was revealed by a former microsoft employee, why vista sucks. You won't belive this. Click the link http://clintonforbes.blogspot.com/search/label/INTERCAL

Why did you buy it if you don't know if you want to install it or not?

Personally, I like Vista MUCH more than XP. Yes, you can turn off that annoying User Account Control - gets much more comfy that way :3

I hate XP's design, XP's lags (believe it or not, Vista lags less on my PC) and XP in general.
While the design can be a little fixed with StyleXP (Eclipse <3 <3 <3) the lags, unstable work and awful security make me cry.

Vista is not as secure as it's supposed to be. Some XP spyware works perfectly here... I've even caught a virus once which wasn't detected by any antivirus system... (though got rid of it)

You don't have to uninstall IE7 and WMP - just use alternatives. To be honest, I like using WMP for music - it's quite comfy. Of course for video it's better to use LA/BS/VLC (I use VLC)...

As for IE7 - I recommend installing Maxthon. Everything working in IE works in Max and it's much more stable/secure/comfy/whatsoever...

There should be a way to turn off window flying if you don't like it I guess... But I like it (though it's stolen from Mac OS )

So, well, a lot of people hate Vista, but I like it much more than XP. (I'm using Vista for a year now, starting with prealpha, switching to beta, RC1, RC2 and now licensed )

And, of course, Microsoft sux because it doesn't release DX10 under XP...

BTW, I recommend checking out Longhorn. Though it's server OS, it's a good personal OS without some things people hate in Vista. It runs smoother, faster, and is very comfortable. Maybe I'll switch to it someday...

Dunno if anyone's already mentioned this, cos I've not got time to read the whole thread, but the INTERCAL thing about Vista actually wasn't true. The writer admits it was a joke at the bottom of the page.

@Ricky:

"PS. This is the second post in my series of attempted humour about Microsoft. I don't know what has come over me in the past week. A few days I was picking at monkey-boy Steve Ballmer, a completely unprovoked attack on the idol of Visual Basic programmers world-wide."

LOL I'm so gullable. I still don't care that much for Vista's new features. I wasn't aware that Longhorn was also being released, if it supports Direct X 10 which i don't see any reason why it would, I would deffinately be interested in it.
