[QUOTE="and-81, post: 250249, member: 11844"] Marcusb: That was my impression too ... I remember thinking: "Wow, what's all the fuss about, this is just XP with some eye candy" I know that there are some big improvements under the hood, but it just feels like XP with lipstick on, especially when you poke around a bit and find all the old XP dialogs in there. If it's not reliable then it doesn't matter how good the improvements under the hood are... I don't get the advantage if it doesn't work. All I know is my own experience ... I've had to reinstall Vista 3 times in a short period. My XP Pro SP2 + Updates 24/7 HTPC is very reliable now, so I'm not going to risk ruining that by moving to Vista. I'm still not 100% sure if Vista will take over from XP or if it's just the next Windows Millennium Edition... But my gut says that given time Vista will become stable enough to take over the reigns... It's just not there yet (still). Cheers, [/QUOTE]
