Windows Vista is ...........................................
clbarclay:
The biggest problem I find with new software is the ton of crud that tries to come with it. My old computer ran well on XP (duron 800 processor) and my current one (1.5 years old) doesn't run as quickly (3.4 Pentuim 4 processor). The differance between the 2 is my brother installed XP on the duron where as some random business computer company built my current one which useually has a 'tray' program run at startup which takes forever :x .
I expect Vista is no better for clogging up the computer with extra software and auto updates that throw a spanner in the works just cos it don't have inernet acess.

We have so far found at least of the well known (ie MS admit to them) XP bugs in Vista and a whole host of new ones that will break certain things for business users.
If you used VPNs then get a client, the MS stuff in vista is badly broke or wait for SP1 (yes there is one in the works) if you rely on a proxy for doing filtering, force the proxy, the autodetect is more broken than XP and the 'Do not proxy for local addresses' still does not work.
Xp does everything I want to do and more, I have no intention of having to replace a £3000+ PC just for pretty graphics.
