Vista is a fucking disaster on so many levels. Besides the stuff you usually hear about, on certain computers if you download Service Park 1 it disables your sound drivers and the computer is silent: no MP3, no video sound, nothing. Which means, of course, that you can't play any audio files or watch videos.
Microsoft's solution to the problem they created? They expect the user to find all the new drivers and reinstall them "manually."
Fuck that shit.
I have a year-old IBM thinkpad with Vista. I am seriously thinking of either finding a techie to install XP on it or trashing it and going with a Mac for everything but the work programs that aren't Mac-compatible.
