So, details!

So I've heard.

Once [livejournal.com profile] peglegpete is back from across the pond, I'm sure you two can commiserate.

Yes, please. I need some schaadenfreude.
Maybe other people can tell me if a Mac and a 360 will cover my computing and gaming needs, when the time comes.

Yup.

It's like XP, but ugly and a lot of things have been moved to nonintuitive places. As well, it's got all that wonderful THE USER CANNOT BE TRUSTED functionality built right in!

Isn't it FUN?

Vista is why I ended up buying a laptop earlier than I planned on - I didn't want that on my computer.

I like it. But I think it looks much nicer than XP, and what isn't exactly the same as Vista is generally better. And I haven't had a single problem with it that wasn't driver related (Nvidia and Creative are still working with beta drivers for Vista). The "cancel/allow" stuff is annoying, but it crops up less and less after the initial installation of software.

I ran Half-Life 2 on it and it ran fine. I ran Oblivion on it and it ran fine. And I'm planning on running C&C3 on it very soon, with the expectation that it will run just fine.

However, I am running a brand new PC with an Core 2 Duo CPU and 8800GTS graphics card. I have heard that it makes older systems struggle.

Does this mean I need to buy an XP Pro license for my next system? I've been considering that...

I love vista! I don't own vista, or intend to run it, but I love it!
