Killer, either you have really terrible bad luck, or I just have good luck.

I've had vista for about 3+ months now, and haven't had
any problems with it. And I can run
taxing programs with only minor slow downs. The DoW Attribute Editor, which used to take 15-20 minutes to open before changed to Vista(and upgraded to a dual core), now takes 2 minutes to open. So if you don't mind, you wanna' point out another specific instance of Vista sucking?
