I'm not actually that concerned about the insane system requirements and lack of resource management in Vista. That's a horrible enough, but it's not the big issue. The big issue is all the DRM [Digital Rights (mis)Managment] stuff. Not being able to play DVDs, MP3s or things like that because Vista doesn't "recognize" it being legit, or considers my video-cable unsafe and therefore kills the quality down to google-video style.

Hell, Vista is never coming anywhere near my computer, but then again, I run Linux on my machine so....XP is there only for the real hardcore gaming.

Vista's ReadyBoost is a nice feature, I just would've preferred that it wasn't capped at 4GBs.

I have to agree with this post. Too much DRM embedded in that thing.
