I like it so far. I have a lot of work to do in terms of customization.

Here is my initial System Performance Score:

I like you 50% more because you like it

So now I like you 150%

Hint: Press Windows Key & Tab and try not to scream like a little girl at the ice cream truck

Vista kicks ass. The drivers are starting to catch up with the OS. I like it a lot.

Everything runs quite a bit faster than XP. I am running x64 Ultimate and wow. Vista found and installed all the drivers for my computer. Very satisfied!

The search feature is amazing.

Yes. The Driver Support and installing are superb now. You really need to give it a few updates etc but once its done (which it does on its own anyway) it is faster than XP easily. Boot Times need a little tweaking but once it has booted it is superb

My HD Tach score isn't very good.

I am getting ~ 84MB/s read with 300MB/s burst.

I expect around 120MB/s read.

I would do 64bits but there are no driver support for my Linksys Wireless PCI card. If i don't have that, then no internet what so ever

Yep, as long as all your hardware has supported drivers, it's definitely worth it.
