What OS doesn't have problems of one sort or another, name one?

I haven't seen anything serious with Vista.

I installed Vista Ultimate 32 on a new build Asus Striker, Core 2 Quad (at
3.2 GHz), Tuniq cooler, 2 Raptors in a non RAID config, and 2 6800 GTX
eVGA
cards in SLI, with 4 Gigs of Corsair 6400C4Pro. It's rock solid and does
everything I need fast and without error. It will run four PRIME95
sessions
forever without error, runs a 3DMark of 13,500, nice eye candy
everywhere...
I'm very happy with it.

I'm not a Microsoft fan, and I'm not trying to be a pundit here, but the
Vista OS isn't exactly bad. It is what it is...


Now all you have to do is run Vista on a fairly ordinary computer and see
what happens. Not everyone wants to spend your kind of money on a computer
just to run Vista considering it does nothing any better than XPee does.


It's fine at the moment running XP, however when Crysis, Alan Wake, Hellgate London, and Unreal Tournament (to name but a few) are released if you are a gamer and want to play them at their best then XP won't cut it I'm afraid. DX10 is Vista only and that is the reason many are going over to it.

Now onto the "...it does nothing any better than XPee does...". It does quit a few things better than XP does actually. But if your only going to believe what you read on the web or hear in the "playground" (I don't mean that literally) rather than actually trying for yourself then your always going to have a rather warped view.
