Prior to SP1, it was <a href="http://douggaff.blogspot.com/2007/08/big-software-and-mistreated-customers.html" rel="nofollow">unusable</a>, but I decided to stick with it rather than go back to XP. (Too lazy to reformat and reinstall all of my crap.) I've finally reached a point where I'm <a href="http://douggaff.blogspot.com/2008/07/is-vista-another-me.html" rel="nofollow">happy with Vista</a>. But I'm still concerned about Microsoft's support.
