I find it hard to believe it is Microsoft’s fault that no vendors out there had a clue Vista was being released....we only knew about for 5 years! Driver's that are not and have not been released is by design. Software that is no longer compatible and requires a new version for $xx.xx is by design. Seems vendors thought it was a good time to rake customers across the coals yet again. I do have my issues with Vista, things that cause me to want to run a Mac and dual boot it with windows but there are positives with Vista as well. If you disable the UAC life gets a little more enjoyable as well. I suspect that Vista may very well be the new "ME" of Microsoft operating systems - the foundation for some future versions capable of some awesome capabilities.

Check out those links above and let me know how it works out for you. Its not the easiest thing in the world but if you just wired your house you just may be up to the task! Good luck! Hey BigDave,

Is that what you are eluding to, or are you referring to the 360? I'm eager to find out as I just spent 3 hours wiring my house to send a cat5 cable to my living room. Thanks!

I don't use new car/operating systems/whatever designs in the first two years. This doesn't include cosmetic updates, but rather underlying core systems. I working in engineering. I see buggy products go out the door because it's now or never for the marketing window. I don't want to deal with that crap at home.
