Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.
Why are people so reluctant to buy Vista? Just because XP was disappointing doesn't mean Vista will be.
I remember when Windows 98 came out. It was very good. There were very few security updates, it supported themes, which was new at the time. And it offered many options and features, that didn't exist prior. It was a big upgrade to 95, and got my friend to buy a new video card (I think it was one of the early All-in-Wonder cards) I enjoyed 98 very much.
When 98 SE came out, I was reluctant to buy it, but when I was forced to do so due to hardware and software limitatons, I liked that one too. It could run some early XP programs, and I didn't think it could get any better.
XP isn't all that bad, even with the PC I have. XP has it's terrible security holes, but it has WMP, a very powerful music player. It forced my friend to make another video card purchase. (some 64MB ATI card, he doesn't have it anymore) So, before you call Windows Vista a rehash of XP, read the wikipedia article, and think again. If you don't trust wikis, go to Microsoft themselves. They'll tell you how awesome Vista is going to be.
