I WAS NOT a fanboy right off. However I do remember all this exact same crap when XP came out. There will ALWAYS be a little cluster fuck of hangers on telling everyone that the newest OS is crap and they will never switch.

I went from 14 hour encodes on xp crashing midway through for no apparent reason, to 14 hour encodes on Vista running and never crashing, and it being rare to have any program crashes at all. Stability for me is awesome, and the speed compared to XP for me is faster. My benchmarks are how often something wont fuckin work, and with Vista I rarely have a problem. All you anti Vista quakers keep quaking. Ill continue on getting my work done faster with less fuck ups than I had using XP.
Let me try and break it down for you:

Vista appears to be working well for you. That's awesome.

Vista is slower on most systems by far according to virtually every site that has been doing benchmarks. That's a fact.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Why does your positive experience with Vista cause you to doubt the thousands of negative experiences people have had with Vista?

Stop being a fucking fanboy. Realize that there are positives and negatives to everything. Accept that independent testing usually has some merit. How bloody hard is that?

I've noticed you doing it constantly on this board.
Vista? You're a fan. You can't bring yourself to believe that there might be anything bad about it
OSX? You're a hater. You won't accept a single positive thing about it.
Democrats? You hate them. Everything they do is bad.
Republicans? You love them. Everything they do is good.
Etc.

Newsflash: the world is not a football match, and you are not a cheerleader. The world isn't black and white, good and bad, pro and con. There are nuances to virtually everything. If you stopped cheering and booing for a moment, you'd notice that.

Yup thousands say its slower. And everything on the internet is dead on the truth. My opinions are always based on my experiences. I dont see things in black and white. I am far from a cheerleader, but keep thinking that.

Using Vista since november, and couldn't be more happy. NEVER had a freezing system so far. It's fast too. And I like some additions compared to XP.

Only thing was that extracting zip files was pretty slow for me. Looks like SP1 fixed this issue.

I see no reason to go back to XP again. It's REALLY fast. But so is my computer. On my laptop(p4 3ghz 1gb ram) vista runs like crap, and I moved back to XP on that one.

I've used both. When I need Windows, I just use XP, despite having an install of each; it is familiar, and faster, as I don't need any lickable desktops and don't use all of the bullshit added to Vista that debuted in OSX 10.3. (Desktop picture and weather shit, I'm looking at you.)

bought a new laptop with Vista Premium 3 days ago, still haven't been able to make Dreamweaver CS3 or 8 to work on it, seriously thinking of installing a XP Pro on it

not really. Windows XP Pro X64 isn't based on the 32bit version of Windows XP. It's Based on the 64bit version of Windows Server 2003.
