[QUOTE="xemumanic, post: 153769, member: 19105"] I happen to have an extra HDD to try Vista on, so I installed it into my HTPC and gave it a whirl. I've run the Vista betas on it before, but until the build right before RC 1, it never supported any of my hardware. Then suddenly, that release was made public, and EVERYTHING was supported. MP ran ever since then, with varying degrees of performance. But once the full version came out, I gave it another try, and it works great. The only reason my HTPC (as seen in my sig) isn't running Vista now is because I'm building another new one anyway. Vista works works differently for everyone, and most issues people encounter are usually fixed not too long after they encounter them, but never hear about the fix. I see it on blogs all the time, 'Vista sucks because x didn't work' but they never go back and mention that the issue was fixed, either with vista drivers or a patch. Probably because they didn't even bother to give it another try. There are so many more drivers out for Vista now. In fact, there isn't a piece of hardware I have now that doesn't work, except for the VIVO function of my video card, but I don't use that anyway. There's a lot thats changed in Vista thats for the better (UAC isn't one of them), and its worth giving it a try. MS (not M$, were not in grade school people) doesn't suck as much as they used to.
