I couldn’t agree more. 64-bit Vista (ANY edition) is a P.O.S.

Odd. My 64-bit Vista Home Premium is outstanding. Far superior to my XP systems.

The systems requirements for Vista to work well were far beyond the minimum published requirements; Microsoft was just antsy to get everyone off of XP and force them into paying for Vista. That the requirements were so high were totally outlandish, and many people upgraded to Vista on machines which totally should have remained XP machines. Even many machines which were sold new did not really meet Vista’s requirements.

That said, if you buy a new machine with Vista preloaded, and it has the power to support it (2 GB RAM, a couple hundred GB disk space, 4 GHz processor), Vista works great and has some pretty kick-ass features.

Of course, if you’re one of the people trying to run a Vista upgrade on their old XP machine, that’s sorta like saying, “Aside from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”
