I like Vista!

After reading about the horrors of Vista for over a year I decided to take
the plunge anyway and upgrade. I have a stock Dell Inspiron 640m laptop with
1.6GHz Dual Core Processor and 1G of memory that is labeled "Designed for
Windows XP. Windows Vista Capable."

I did a lot of research on drivers and downloaded a couple that needed to be
updated. I also backed up all my data and did a clean install on a freshly
formated hard drive. The install went smooth.

I upgraded to Vista Ultimate and I like it! It runs smooth, the graphics are
awesome, and the sidebar has some useful tools. I also migrated to a dock
program called RocketDock which makes my desktop very clean looking. The only
thing I do not like is the UAC but I downloaded TweakUAC and life is good.

I have not had one single issue, crash, or conflict. I was worried about MS
Office 2003 but that runs flawlessly as well.

Why do people have so many issues? Is it improper install? I do not
understand!
