System Restore is a knoen Bug. That is one i forgot about. But that fix is coming in a patch real soon.
And Ste what are you gonna do when Crysis and Halo 2 are released as Vista ONLY since they use DX10 which is NOT available for XP? I guess you will be FORCED to upgrade at that time.
Yes people have problems. But i can bet you 1,000 to 1 that they have tried to upgrade with applicaitons that have known issues still installed. So when Vista starts there is already a conflict. Like Norton or McAfee. So yeah people will have problems. that is known.
But look at Vista's release to XP's. There is less of a issue of
1. Piracy. All known hacks to date have feen patched. Including the 2099 which was just confirmed to be patched.
2. Bugs. there are only a small handfull. System Restore, which in my opinion is pointless cause all it does is take up hard drive space. Other than that there is a couple of firewall apps that dont work. I have found that AVG, Avast, NOD32, among others for AV's work just fine. BitDefender also works. There are quite a few Internet Security apps that work.
3. Support. While this is not M$'s fault it is still a problem. While nVidia, AMD/ATi and Creative cant seem to get thier heads out of their butts it creates unecessary problems for us users.
OVerall the decision is null. Either you use Vista or you dont. It is all a personal choice just like which firewall or anti-virus app is the best. We all ahve different opinions.
Plus put the blame where it belongs. Blame M$ all you want cause you can. But until you write a OS from the ground up that can rival windows you still have no ground to stand on. *Cough*Ste*cough*
