I have recently been trying out Windows Vista on my rebuilt PC to see what the hype is about. It took me a lot of time and effort to try and get the install to work properlly off a fresh install/reformat due to a DVD drive not having the right drivers which I couldn’t find a fix for, so I had to replace the DVD Drive. After that I encoutered more problems with sound driver issues not having the installer wanting to work properlly in a new operating system.
I can tell you that the visuals and added features are amazing to look at. However, Vista seems to lag in a few spots. I am currently running on a P4 2.66GHz with 1GB in RAM. I am not sure if I will stick with Vista for the long run if I find out that games may lag also. Have any of you tried Vista out, what is your opinion?

I am using Vista, I love it! I had some problems with sound drivers at first too, but I eventually got them working.
I also downloaded Microsoft Virtual PC (which is free now) where I have a copy of Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux installed just in case I need one of those 2 operating systems to run some programs.
I hope Vista can offer many things better than MacOS Tiger!
