i've tried it on a good computer. i've tried on a bad computer. i've been using it since release. yeah it has LOTS of nice features that i want, but its also terrible when it comes to the resources it wants to use. Whereas windows 7 is going to give the features and not eat up 1 gig of ram by itself. fact of the matter is that it was terribly coded and put together, hence why they are rushing windows 7 out the door so quickly, instead of the LONG turnaround we had between XP and vista. I have lots of friends that work in IT and a few that are system admins for some very large corporations and they deal with Vista on a daily basis and i've heard what they have to go through, its a pos, plain and simple.
