I don't understand all this trouble people are having with Vista... I got Vista 32-bit with my new PC last year and I never have any problems, its much better than XP was plus its got Dx10 and games run much better.

I think people's problems are due to using pirate copies of Vista.  I read most posts on these forums and others and most of the time people are saying 'I have tried it'.  How can you try it without buying it ? unless its a pirate copy.

I used to use a pirate copy of XP at first but I had many problems with crashing and things going wrong.  One day I bought a new hard drive and the shop was selling a OEM version of windows XP for £40.  I bought it and never had the same problems again.

Every version of Vista gives you a 30 day trial period with no strings attached so people can actually try it if they wish then buy if they want to.  Not saying nobody has pirated Vista but there will be many people who did take advanatge of this feature too.

I tested vista when I was visiting my parents. Every graphical program I have made lately didn't work on it(BSOD). I have done research and looks like its totally random when those doesn't work and when they do. Software isn't the problem because it does work on any other windows(except maybe anything under 98, I guess. Haven't tried tho.). Exactly the same code does even work on linux or mac. Windows 7 can also BSOD, if my programs are ran on it. Only way to make them work is to compile them on windows 7 or windows vista. That way however those programs might not work even on XP. They aren't that different right now in this case at least.
