I'll go out on a limb and take the opposing position. I'm happily running Vista on both my home machine (which I own and paid for) and my work machines (which UC Berkeley owns and paid for).
Perhaps one reason for my success and that I always wipe out whatever version of Windows comes with a PC and do a fresh install. This seems to make a real difference. The primary reason I run Vista, instead of Linux, is that no version of Linux I've seen looks as good on an LCD screen as Windows with Cleartype. I've run tests on the same hardware, switching between Linux and Windows. It isn't even close. There are also some apps I like which only run on Windows, but that's another story. I happily administer Linux clusters and standalone machines from my Vista machines. So far, Vista has been quite stable for me, although I am looking forward to SP1 to fix the rough edges that remain. I should add that I've been using Unix since 1975. I am *not* proposing running Windows in a cluster. There are technical and financial reasons why this might not be such a smart idea. Go ahead.
