Vista’s user experience isn’t bad (not for me, anyway) but it’s just a bloated corpse of an OS. When I boot up my machine (Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 4 GB RAM) under Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and check my memory usage, the OS and the few utilities I load are taking up almost 1.4 GB of memory. Before I do ANYTHING with the machine. That’s just insane.

I paid $70 for 4 gig of RAM so memory is not an issue. I run Vista 64 on 6 gig now. It works great for me.
