Oddly enough, the only time my PC grinds to a hault is when the internet is slow and thats for external reasons. A lot of the bad press Vista gets is pure nonsense IMO. With XP I usually had to reformat every six months, on Vista it's still going.
(Though the fact I have to play the Orange Box in a window is annoying.... mainly for Portal and Episode 2 though...)
