Just curious. I haven't used it since RC2. Going to be getting it very soon, just wondering if anyone has any major gripes with it

im on ultimate, installing sound drivers caused bluescreens but that was fixed by sticking with vistas default set which seem to work fine.

I love this OS, I just hope driver support gets upto speed soon with openGL etc

(im on a laptop though, so driver support for me is undoubtedly going to take longer to be sorted out fully)

I just installed the retail copy a couple of days ago, Runs great.

Runs better than the RTM version.

So far I haven't had ANY bluescreens. Media center is working perfect.
It found my audio drivers for me, I didn't have to search for them.

So far everything is working perfect.

XP is just fine (well, it's not, but you get the point). Vista is just bloatware.

Aside from in a professional environment I doubt i'll use a Microsoft OS again. At least not for the foreseeable future.

I'm starting to favour Linux more and more. I also prefer OSX to Windows and am looking to invest in a Macbook Pro in the near future.

I don't play games, I don't do any intensive work such as 3D or video. Everything I use on a daily basis is available to me freeware anyway.

In the near future i'll be abandoning Microsoft products for my personal computing. I'll have the champagne on ice.

By the way, the mail software in Vista, Microsoft Mail is it called now instead of Outlook Express?

Does it support push?

I've become a fan of Lotus Notes in recent months especially because it uses push and so do my BlackBerry phones.

I use Notes 7 right now, but Notes 8 just looks incredible. I love IBM's Eclipse technology too.

CLICK!

You fuckin' nerd.

::edit
I've been using Notes for over 6 years and Linux now for almost 3!

I'd have called any Notes user a nerd 6 months ago. Then I actually used Notes properly.

It pisses all over Microsoft's chips and the competition. It's even more amazing when you look to the features included in earlier editions of Notes (even back to R4) and see just how far ahead of it's time the Notes software actually is.

On the other side there's no contest between Microsoft Exchange and Domino.

Domino has it beat everywhere hands down. It also makes life far more easier than it does adding, configuring and managing Exchange.

Lotus Notes 8 is just incredible, I can't wait for it.

I just took the plunge with Vista Ultimate.

Annoyingly nvidia driver now forces me to use the shitty nvidia control panel, i can't output fullscreen video to my second display (tv) and what is displayed on my tv is in black and white.

All these problems are listen on the nvidia site so it's my fault for not knowing about it before i upgraded. BUT it's a pretty major issue to not have sorted yet. fuckers.

brand new motherboard that is "vista premium certified" and only the onboard audio drivers work. not the lan, usb, firewire or anything else.

Nice little comparison of XP to Vista in the latest (April) issue of Maximum PC. Overall Vista is 10-20% slower in games and some apps. But they state that the results are more than likely because XP been around for 5 years and therefore has stable working drivers while Vista in a sense is still in beta (driver-wise). They plan a follow up in a few months once the driver issues have been updated/resolved.

I had a dual boot with xp and the first rc vista for a while until my pc when shit crazy.
Had to wipe all disks and just went back to xp as i didnt see any adavantage using vista for my needs.
When it gets better game compatability and to a level of stability that xp is at now i may switch.. but for me it just seems bloated and unneeded.

It's pretty slick and not a low-end. More like higher mid-range.
