    I'm getting really tired of people predicting how vista or anything will do based on anecdotal evidence.

    Anecdotal evidence is still evidence.

    At least for the person using Vista. If I installed Vista on my box and it didn't work as intended, then that is all the evidence I need for it to not work for my setup.

    However, it may work just fine with different hardware, drivers, or another user.

    The real final of a MS OS isn't tagged RC1 but SP1.
