Vista + SP1: If you put whipped cream on a turd, it's still a turd.
Do you use vista? used vista SP1?
I've used vista for about 8 months now, on my primary pc, which I watch video on, web, IRC,encode video, play games, and use as my primary work pc... which I generally run 4+ VMs at the same time. I have 90% of the time LOVED vista, that's right loved! the other 10% of the time I was unhappy with file management, EX: file copy/move/browse/cancel. I installed SP1 on Tuesday, and all of my issues are fixed. They also fixed / improved many things that were not an issue for me. My machine plays every game I've tried to play on it, and I've tested it a bit. It has crashed maybe twice, both times I did something bad and it should have crashed. I can run 6 VM full screen machines on this pc, and every VM and the main OS VISTA, has been very responsive, and I can do other CPU intensive things at the same time. Part of that is the Q6600 + 4GB ram... but part of it is an underlying OS that can handle all those requests and run smoothly.
I'm sick of people putting M$ down because they have their own agendas. Sure their products have bugs / issues / security holes, but so does any other respectable OS. The more people use a certain OS, the more script kiddies are going to try and attack it and find obscure bugs and exploit them. Is MS entirely original? Not on a regular basis, but being a programmer myself, while creating 100% original code can be the best way to create a program, sometimes you need to know when to re-use someone else's ideas / code snippets.
Have I loved all their products? NO. Do I condemn things before I try them? Not when it comes to software.
