Vista reminds me of WIN2K (what WinXP is now)

I remember those who swore by Win2K, not going to upgrade to XP.

I'm currently using 2 version of Vista on separate systems, one Vista Business before SP1, and just recently Vista Ultimate.

I was amazed at how this new core design was so much more ready for the market then previous versions. The driver update response was quick from 3rd party vendors, but the main core drivers were up to date enough to run the system.

UAC was a real pain but a single tweak leaves it on without the prompt. The new explorer takes some time to get use to, but now I see its advantage compared to the old File Manager.

I'm going to enjoy Vista's next level 'Windows 7'

Same here. My only beef with vista is X-fi compatibility issues. Other than that I have none.

My last sound card was an Audigy but now I just use the on board sound systems. I even tried the card in my old system and preferred the on board. weird.
