Re Vista: I was on some geek discussion group where the head geek of the list said he was at a geek conference with five high-level geeks.

He said they could not agree on anything about computers except one thing:

Never buy or use a version of Windows that has been out for less than thirty months (two and a half years).

They all did agree that it takes Microsoft that long at a minimum to get any operating system to run smoothly.
