I have a couple of XP machines (one regular PC and one HTPC) and I’ve been watching the Vista rollout for the last year. Microsoft have endured enormous bad press over Vista. But my machines are getting old and I really need to know whether the problems are real.

This “game” sucks the life energy from your PC and spits out the dry husks. But I’m addicted. I’ve added more RAM and a new (7600GS) video card but the performance still sucks.
Recently, a couple of sudden reboots in one day put getting a new PC at the top of my list. So, let’s find out if Vista works!
