I haven't had much bad to say about the OS, with the exception of some minor gaming glitches. The computer is running better with Vista than it had with XP. However, that XP install had been pirated, and was out of date without the possibility of catching up (stupid WGA bullshyte). I actually received Vista for free from Microsoft without strings attached, because I won a raffle while I worked at Circuit City during their Vista launch. Maybe that's why I am easily impressed by it, it was free, and it's working. I know the same would also be true if it was running Linux, but that's what I use on my laptops, and I tire of looking at the same GUI all the time. (XP at work and on my DVR computer, Vista on my internet/gaming computer, Ubuntu on my laptops.)
