Yeah, well. I’ll be staying with XP, thanks.

Microsoft really screwed the pooch with Vista. I guess this PROVES that we need more H1B visas, right? Or were those the folks that messed this up in the first place?

Anyone who buys a PC nowdays that does not have 100% Vist-compatible hardware is asking for trouble. I built my latest PC, and have had NO TROUBLE with hardware OR drivers. But I’m not quite sure I’m ready to install SP1 yet ... :)

I am still running Windows XP Pro and was able to download the SP1 without any problems. It is a stand-alone .exe file that can be burned onto a CD. I got it just in case of a weak moment when I wanted to try Vista on one of my computers that works fine with Windows XP Pro. Does anyone have anything good to say about Vista after SP1?

There's the infamous 800B0100 install error for which Microsoft has released no fix. On certain brands of computers, its impossible to install SP 1. It just won't install. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft!
