I'm hating vista; my new laptop has it (dual boot with ubuntu, which is my saving grace). I was trying to install my mp3 player software this afternoon and it told me it was completely installed three count 'em, three times, but never actually installed the driver. I googled the name of my player with the word "linux" and the first link that came up was a piece of software that I downloaded in like 3 minutes and which works completely. Now granted, it's good that vista asks more questions about installations and permissions, but that's what linux has done for years, so why is vista so great? My opinion: IT'S NOT!
