Ever notice fanboys NEVER have any real answers why Vista is bug

You didn't answer the question.
Name a more stable OS.

That's called changing the topic. The issue isn't how buggy some other
OS might be, rather how buggy Vista is, a fact you and other fanboys
always attempt to deny.

Since you believe you are so smart...why is it that you use Vista ?

I explained why many times. I'll repeat my reasons again. The only
reason I suffer along with Vista's clumsy behavior is became of my
choice in Video Editors, Sony's outstanding Vegas which requires
Windows to run. If Vegas was supported on another platform (it isn't,
I looked) I would dump Vista in a heartbeat.

So I have two choices, either accept the torture I put up with daily
with Vista or switch to a Mac and use the equally excellent Final Cut
Pro. Since that costs almost four times the price of Vegas and while
equal in most areas, better in a couple that would require buying a
Mac, a foolish waste of money since all my current software, a very
sizeable investment adding up to many thousands of dollars would
become useless.

There's also Gamma issues (illustrated in below link) when viewing
images or video in Mac and Windows platforms.

While I naturally use a NTSC calibrated monitor when doing color
correction with Vegas capable of displaying real time changes, Mac's
are more clumsy.

Must be because it is the best thing out there.

Why aren't you using a Mac ?
You do all that video editing...and Macs are supposedly soo good at that.

Supposedly. Not in reality. Mac users are mainly a cult following.
While Macs are "good" for video editing, the pro grade software (Final
Cut Pro) is excessively expensive compared to Vegas. Also using either
product at it's full potential requires a steep learning curve that in
some areas exceeds mastering Photoshop for maximum benefit for still
images. I already mastered Vegas, used it for years, again, a huge
time waste to repeat the process to become expert at Final Cut Pro.

In all honestly neither Vegas or Final Cut Pro are the absolute best.
If money is no object AVID products are the de facto "standard" for
feature film editing of the Hollywood crowd, many TV programs and
commercials.

Yet you use Vista.

You say far more than you intend.

You don't use logic in your arguments. I'm noticed.
