I know they have mp3's and mp4's...and in general they're decent codecs as far as I can tell, but something tells me that MP5 will never succeed as a format...imagine the airport security scene...

In my experience, I haven't had a single problem with vista. I've been running vista since the beginning of august, and it has never crashed on me once. I'm not some n00blet pc fanboy--certainly not. I use macs frequently, and I agree that they have their merits, but I cannot stand the vista bashing that is happening. I do advanced work on vista, and install and uninstall programs frequently. my pc still runs like a charm, and I leave it on for months at a time. seriously, stop the vista bashing. if you have a decent computer, it runs fine. end of story.
