I'd still be using 98SE if M$ hadn't made it impossible to run new programs.

Well as of late last evening, my "new" Main Rig is running Vista x64. (Again courtesy of Microsoft!) Normally I avoid x64 because it's a long way from being Mainstream. ... That reminds me, I have to get some keyboard and mouse drivers (I can remember trying to get 64-bit software from Logitech and being told that "no one uses Windows XP 64-bit").

I have a close friend who wants me to move to Colorado Springs and work with him doing Java development. If I do I'll load up Ubuntu in a virtual environment, so I can get reacquainted with Linux. His workplace uses strictly Unix/Linux machines. Well I guess except for the Air Force guys, who are having to learn Vista.

But what gets me is that even after years of having "64-bit" processors, there is very little "64-bit software"!?!

I have to agree with people who say Vista is crap. It stutters and lags in many games, so as is now, 64bit 7 for me.

not many problems here with vista after sp1
well i use it on secondary system and on new laptop and it is running ok so far
little glitches with wireless network and nothing more (not saying about driver support)

Same here! Vista is fine since SP1. (Mind you I would load up Win7 if I could get drivers installed for my Creative Labs sound card.) But my impression is that Vista really is more stable than XP. I know it recovers from errors more gracefully. And I don't think Microsoft should be held responsible for the quality of the software we load on our systems.

At the same time I can remember when I really didn't like Vista. My primary objection is still that it hides files and folders. Then again I'm not some n00b that will go and bork things by randomly deleting files they know nothing about. I just like to set up my start menu with a level of organization that Microsoft is oblivous to... And I eventually had to adjust.
