I gotta agree with you. Yes it is more bloated, and there is a performance hit on my current hardware when compared with XP.. but the same thing happened when XP was rolled out, people screamed "2000 is faster! it's leaner! xp is just more useless features!" today, the same thing is happening. as others have said, once SP1 hits, many of the bugs and issues currently facing vista will be dealt with. I've been using vista since last december, and I've had zero issues with it. hell.. I'm even using vista to write apps in legacy VB6 with no issues.

all the software I use on a regular basis works just fine under vista, the worst I've encountered is an application that doesn't support aero, in which case vista happily switches over to basic, and then back to aero once the application has terminated.

vista's not that bad people. when xp first came out, I encountered many more issues. vista will mature, and it will get better.
