OOTP 9 System Requirements

I have vista also, and haven't had any problems with it. No crashing or anything yet. I hear most people don't like it because it's a resource hog. It is, but I have 4Gb of RAM, and 3ghz dual core, so everything runs smooth.

The real name of Windows Vista should be Windows CEMENT - it combines the worst part of Windows CE, Windows ME, and Windows NT, and it makes your computer run like was bogged down in wet cement.

Nah, he's not in the minority. The people who don't have a problem with Vista just don't post as much. So you really only hear the complaints. I run a dual boot with Vista 64-bit/XP. Personally, I don't think there's much difference. Other than Vista looks prettier. But it's not nearly as bad as people claim.

I want to cringe when I hear people compare it to ME. It's not even close. Yes, Vista can be resource hog if you're low on RAM and Processing power. But I see absolutely no difference in speed between XP/Vista when I run them. If anything, Vista is faster for me.

Vista. It could be worse, but it’ll take time.
Vista. It could happen to you.
Vista. Let it get in *your* way.

Vista. More than enough rope.
Vista. Putting new limits on productivity.
Vista. Simplicity made complex.

I looked into it, and you're right. A recent poll by Changewave indicated that it's only 34% of Vista users who are really dissatisfied with it.

I'm ok with Vista. Now Windows ME, that I hate.
