Default 100% Vista :)

Hey guys. Since i got Vista i have been 50/50 because some of my games didnt like vista. But now that all the drivers for my computer are supurb and BF2 runs without a hitch maxed @ 1200x1600 with 2x AA @ a constant 50~70fps

Im going all Vista now since the only game that is literally incompatable with vista is Call of Duty 2.. and i beat that game so yeah.

Who else is 100% vista?

Linux and Vista haters dont post here because we dont need "Vista sucks get linux" posts.

I loved it but I reformatted. I'm trying to install MACOSX 10.4.9 and Vista took 500MBs out of my 1GB of memory (leaving not so much memory) so I installed XP x64. Once I get 2GB's I'll reinstall to vista

When I first got Vista (installed it on my new rig), I disliked it quite a bit for a some reasons: drivers for my wireless network card wouldn't work, ATItool would not run (at all), Source games would frequently crash, some other programs wouldn't run at all, I didn't like the interface, and the whole "Run as Administrator/Cancel or Allow" thing REALLY got on my nerves.

After messing around with it, installing new drivers, and optimizing my settings, I have come to like it for the most part. It's not a bad OS IMO, but I can't say I'm 100% satisfied (in all fairness I don't think I could be with any OS). I'd say more like 85-90% satisfied.

I went 100% vista partly because I like it better than XP, and partly to piss off my rabid apple fanboy roommate.

I'm also 100%, its a great OS and if I ever have compatibility issues, I just install it on VMware. Only problem I had was that the workgroup name was changed to MSHOME instead of just WORKGROUP like XP was, so I had to change that on all the old XP computers in the office.
