MBReview.com reviewed Windows Vista, and concluded: "Overall, my first impressions of Vista, and specifically Vista Ultimate, are quite good. I had few problems moving over hardware and software, other than issues of driver support by manufacturers. This is an extremely annoying issue and I'm sure I'm not alone in my distaste for such lack of driver support. The new Aero interface is gorgeous and is one of the big reasons I have moved over to Vista on my main system. It has it's quirks like anything, but it is a big improvement from WindowsXP. Thus far, I'm impressed."

I tried Vista myself, but it's unusable for me. I actually "liked" the OS, it seemed pretty nice and all, but wow - talk about video issues. I tried it in a box with a 7900GT by EVGA, good quality card. Using the stock Vista drivers, display sleeps, but when you try to wake it - screen is garbled.
Sometimes switching resolutions in games causes screen to garble. Alt-F4ing out of the game then causes the screen to revert back. Etc, etc.
Happens with MS Vista-included drivers, Nvidia's drivers from the site, and also their beta drivers. Irritates me to no end! This is a major bungle. Yes, reinstalled a few times, and yes - seen a gazillion reports of the same thing all over the net.
Vista == nono until fundamental issues like this are resolved, regardless if it's MSs fault or the major manufacturers.
