    Installed Vista Ultimate yesterday to see if really was as bad as everyone said it was. It was.

    First of all it was difficult to get a vista-compatible firewall. Drivers for my X-Fi sound card just refused to work. Incompatibilities between punkbuster and vista meant that i got kicked from servers every few minutes.

    What does everyone one else think of Vista?

    I like it as much as I like Windows general. I have aero/sidebar turned off and it has worked perfectly from day one. Still some issues with drivers and stuff but nothing that bothers my setup. The X-Fi sound card in my build works fine though?

    My sound interface has drivers for 32 bit version so I was lucky in that sense. I reckon it'll be a year before many peeps using WinXX-ME-XP hardware will have drivers they can trust.

    I de-Vista'd the interface as much as possible and dispite using the built-in firewall hav'nt been invaded (I use Solo and Spybot to check the system).

    Mike.

    yeah it worked for me, but with no audio console you may as well use onboard sound :o

    I'm switching back as soon as XP SP3 is out. I would change back now but I don't have the time.
