"Vista itself is not buggy, not in the least, You will hear stories about compatibility's but thats an issue with hardware manufacturers not updating there drivers."

Are you still in college? Because you aren't in a secure workplace. VPN's DO NOT WORK with Vista. Do you even know what that means?

Vista isn't backwards compatible. It won't run ACT! It won't run "Windows" video games.

The printer driver issues are tame...minor in the grand scheme of the massive Vista failures (e.g. modem driver failures).

Vista isn't failing like Windows ME...it's failing like DOS 4.0.

Once you give up backwards compatibility, customers have no further need of new versions of Windows OS's.

GAME
OVER

That isn't true. I had to download and install a new release of the Cisco VPN client, and was able to connect to work from home without any issues.

And the people that cant run programs like ACT wont upgrade, simple. Most people that run ACT still run it on Windows 2000 anyways and didnt bother to upgrade there machines to even Windows XP.(its funny that you bring up that program anyways since it is/ and has been one of the buggiest fatabase programs I have ever come across)

It will run Windows Video Games and run quite a few programs, the list continues to grow. Alot of people simply havent even bothered to try to run older programs in Windows XP mode or other modes. I have yet to find one single program of mine that will not run on Vista, not one.

So no, not game over, game beginning.
