What makes this Vista article any different? The title provides a clue: it's as much about providing practical working solutions to resolve some of the commonly-quoted Vista annoyances as anything else. That in itself should give all Vista users a reason to read it. However it doesn't matter whether you use Vista or not, because this article does something that most of the others don't: it takes an objective and up-to-date look at the current state of Vista, with a range of facts, clear examples and informed opinions aimed squarely at debunking a lot of the myths and FUD we've been gagging on for the past year. So for those of you still considering whether to make the switch from XP, for those of you who want to abandon Vista and go back to XP, for those of you who used Vista a while ago and who are wondering whether it's worth using again now - this article puts things in perspective with the latest facts.

Where you using a Bluetooth stereo headset? If not what makes you think that your experience is relevant to the other persons problem?
That was kind of the point. If it were a DRM issue with un protected mp3s, it wouldn't matter what you were listening to them on.
Why do people always respond to other peoples problems with "I've never had that problem" as if that might prove something? I doubt anyone thought that no one has ever been able to play DVDs on Vista. The very fact that there exists common setups which can cause these issues is a real problem, despite the fact that there exists other configurations where these particular issues don't exist.
There is a difference between common problems, and edge cases. I have yet to even hear of any problems with anything remotely approaching modern hardware and vista in my real world circle of friends, family, and peers.

Let's face it Vista has issues, the fact that you cannot reproduce them is more or less irrelevant.
