Everyone's been talking for what feels like an eternity about Vista being a major blunder, and everyone has their theories as to why it happened. So why would John C. Dvorak be any different? He's got 11 reasons why the OS was destined to flop.

Why not? It gives a VERY nice performance increase and it's not a server - it's an entertainment machine.
Besides, all my important documents from those HDDs are backed up daily at 3:00 on a separate drive.
Raid1 on that computer would make no sense. But yeah, what the hell do I know - I'm using Vista, right?

I have been using vista on my home computer for a year now and have no huge complaints. The primary use for that computer is playing games, multimedia in general and a little hobby 3d graphics work. Hw: C2D@3ghz, 4gb, 8800gt, hdds in raid0.
From my experience, as long as you have the hardware to run it, Vista works very well... and looks nice too
I would not recommend trying it on anything with less than 2GB of ram and integrated/old video card though.
On my turion64/1gb ram/gf7300 laptop I use for work it's frustrating and unusable (mostly because of the ram) - so yeah, I agree that "Vista Capable" thing is bulls*it (my laptop had that sticker too)
