i dont know what is with ppl and hating vista, especially when they are buying new hardware for it. like i know most of my mates are using XP and hate vista with a passion cause they installed it and nothin worked, cause they all have 3+ year old computers. Yeah, fair enough, vista sucks @ old compatability, but if you are building a new rig everything for it will work in vista generally. actually, i've never heard of something new NOT working in vista, but I'm sure many posts will be left after this listing things, ahha.
But yeah, I built my rig about 3 months after vista came out, only thing that doesnt work perfect in it is my sound card, but that was made a fair while before vista was out, and the only thing that doesnt work about it is the diagnostic tools.
but yeah, i love vista, brilliant OS imo. much prefer it to XP.
