It's a system hog and generally doesn't handle anything efficiently.

It had a really shit start because it was released unfinished.
But by all means it's a decent OS, you just need a decent pc to take advantage of it.

If your computer has enough power to run vista, its better,
otherwise stick with xp cuz there's too many problems u will run into
3GB of ram MIN
Dual Core No Exception
Graphics card more than 256mb
Bootup Times Really fast on my pc, never had a single problem :]

A lot of people love to hate Vista.

If youy computer is good.. Vista will be fine.
I prefer it over XP to be honest. It took a bit of getting used to and the 'security popup's' aren't nearly as annoying, or frequent as everyone says.

Lots of glitches. My friends tell me it crashes their computer. Basically its just loaded down with needless junk to make it look cool and it fucks up the performance.

My comp can handle Vista but I prefer XP anyway. I dont need all that extra crap

I goddamn hate the Jesus-shitting Windows Vista with every fiber of my being.  I ordered recently an XP and they sent me a crappy Vista that works like shit and looks worse.  Oh yeah, and hardly any older games not made by Microsoft (and possibly Electronic Arts) don't work: Sierra Core, FFVII, FFVIII, Blitzkrieg, C&C: Red Alert, and several others.
