I dont find that all suprising either. Truth is i at times find Vista annoying luckily i got a dual install of xp and V, so i can just reboot to xp when i've had it with vista.
MS biggest mistake although there is software out there such as Vlite, is they should of put out a lite version dont know if Vista home edtion is the lite version?. Vista without the eye candy just the engine and plain old interface look and preinstalled on these OEM PCs with an option to upgrade to eye candy look with a type of service pk update so if they find vista to slow they can at least uninstall the pack - but problem is they're selling new PC's with Vista on and only 512 ram or 1gig which aint enough you need 2gigs or better to run vista well.
A newbie comes along buys a brand new PC with vista goes for the cheapest which usually comes with 512ram few weeks later hes in a straight jacket
