Vista is incompatible with many of the old school and foreign games that I like to run. Touhou refuse to play with any music, some of my sidescroller doesn't work etc.

This is probably the only reason I am still using xp. Its impossible to find support for them anymore/in the right language and I do still play them regularly.

I think the Vista is doomed to collect dust until my next computer upgrade. By then maybe Win7 would be out :p.

I think the fabled lesson here is always wait till SP1 to upgrade. Even with Windows 7.

 

 

I got my Vista during may this year, SP1 was already out, I DID wait before I got Vista, unfortunately the games I mentioned are just too obscure / old for anyone to bother. I'm not blaming Microsoft, but given the choice as I have both XP and Vista, I stuck with XP simply because I refuse to play Touhou without the music.

Also NEVER EVER get any MS product at launch, wait at least few months for them to stamp out the bug before you leap, their history is too checkered with 'oopsies' to not be cautious.

 

This is hardly limited to MS. Anyone who relies on IT for their business who doesn't wait (this is usually while doing systems testing anyway) is bound to be burned by brand new products. Major OSX and Ubuntu updates also suffer some serious problems in their first few months, they just don't get the coverage that Vista has.

That said, Vista is just history repeating itself. People complained just as much about XP when it was released.
