Is this your experience? I am sorry but I find it hard to believe,
however based on what you installed experiences may vary.
I have 3 PCs right now running Vista. They are all stable. I did
have one very disconcerting instance in which my program uninstall
information became corrupted but that was an isolated incident and was
not necessarily due to Vista.
I don't have any PC though with 1GB of RAM.
In over a year, I have had maybe 5 blue screens of death. Windows
update has never had a problem although I wish it wouldn't give me
Windows Defender updates because I don't use that. I use a blank
screen saver and have never had any problems. Mouse behavior has
always been stable, and my system has only hung a few times.
I don't know why your experience is so different.
I say this being vested in Vista doing poorly. I have Apple stock and
the worse Vista's reputation is the better the chance of higher market
share for Apple.
Vista disappoints because it's not what it could have been. It
disappoints because it requires more hardware to run well.
