Key bit is a lot.

It's the nature of the business, release things before it's ready and fix it up later.
But all this crap about "Vista can't run any games!" or "It makes you lag -all- the time!" is just that, crap. While there is truth in it (Sidebar lags up like hell, UAC causes all sorts of funny bugs, some really odd one Oblivion had but Oblivion is pure buggy shit in of itself...), all you require to fix it is the needless 'plastic wrapping' Microsoft has added on, which is true also for chocolate.

Ack, and a bit more 'cuse I only just saw Oric's post - yeah, I prefer XP as well, but Vista does infact work and isn't the broken OS it's protrayed as.
