You have no idea about the problems you are *going* to have.   Wait until you have a run-in with DRM.

The overall poorer performance of every single application.  The amount of hardware to maintain only a 10% performance loss over XP Pro is staggering.

I am already having to deal with the, "Why does Aces High II run slower under Vista?"  "Does Aces High II support Vista?"  Sheesh

Nvidia released a memo that admits a 20% hit on framerates using current best drivers compared to XP. And there is no quick fix coming, if at all.

Same thing with Creative, they admitted they can't build working drivers to Vista. Directsound support is gone, giving a performance hit and rendering any older Creative hardware practically useless. Sound will have occasional crackling and synch problems according to Creative.

We'll know the real grievances once it really launches. :D

no DRM issue's whatsoever...

sorry haven't tested AH yet, soon though, will let you know if ya want, DX all that...

If ya got a good PC with nice amount of RAM all is OK, but yes I agree with ya on the performance, RAM is your friend if ya gots lots...

no issues either with Software, I'm very surprised everything works nicely...

They also killed ASIO in Vista, which is what most high end audio/video packages used for sound due to the low latency.

The only way to get ASIO support is to do the XP to Vista upgrade and already have the ASIO drivers installed for XP.

None of the Audiophile sound cards will run under the native versions of Vista as Audiophile depended on either ASIO or DX Sound.  Creative Labs is having a terrible time.  EAX is dead in Vista.  And Creative cannot get thier drivers to run well at all under Vista.  This is per Creative Labs.

None of the DirectX Sound filter plug-ins for the high end audio packages will work under Vista either.

These are not bugs.  These are design features of the OS.  MS's TechNet forums are covered with things like this.

EDIT:  You have DRM issues, you just do have run into them yet.  Wait until you try to copy any HD content which has been flagged as copy protected.

Saying that Vista is all peachy-keen is just wrong.  The last thing anyone needs is to be misinformed about this.

I'm using ATI, no issue's either, apart from the hog RAM thing, but what the hell, RAM is cheap, and most new puters have 3 gig available...

RAM RAM RAM as always...

There is no amount of RAM which will get back the lost performance.  None.
