I bought a new laptop 2 months after Vista came out. Played with it for a month and took the bloody thing back. Had 20 members of my staff do likewise, 18 returned the laptops in less than a month; based on that I retrieved the last two and returned all 20. The OS has a nasty learning curve and won't run 70% of the programs that we run. Of the 70%, about half of them require us to buy upgrades to run on Vista.

We are looking at several options including Macs (which I tend to dislike) - we would have to run our windows programs on the XP emulator. Why Microsoft didn't make the OS more backwards compatible I'll never know, but it will be years, if ever, before we move to it.

Really dislike this particular OS.
