Why did I go for a 64 bit version of Vista? What actually was the point? This has to be the most stupid, ridiculous decision I have ever f#####g made, I mean I buy a powerful computer for gaming, and almost gaming alone, I see Vista Home Premium, and Vista Home Premium 64-bit in the OS selection, and which do I go for? Ooh! 64 bit costs 9£ more and therefore must be better! Who cares that half the games I have ever bought and most software and games I ever will won't work with it? Certainly not me! Hey, what difference does it actually make anyway, apart from breaking more stuff than 32-bit? ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!

Vista is just XP, only nothing works on it.
I foud out that the problem that caused this vista-bash won't work with more than 3.25 gigs of RAM, so that will be the problem, but I don't want to remove the precious RAM from my beautiful PC.

Wrong!

Vista is just XP, only nothing works on it and it takes up twice as much resources.

The RAM thing is just bizarre, 64-bit OS are supposed to remove the old RAM restrictions (caused by only 32 bits of address space)

3.25? Seriously? That has got to be the strangest Vista related error that I've ever heard of. Well... aside from having to use less overall RAM, does everything run properly?

20% of people who complain about vista jump on the 'lol it sucks' bandwagon.
15% of people who complain about vista had legitimate issues due to 3rd party drivers and hardware (read: not Microsoft) not being as backwards compatible as thought.
15% of people knew that it was going to be a rough transition from xp onwards, but understand that it was a necessary progression and didn't complain.
10% other.

The bottom 15% are idiots, then. It's as necessary as a teapot made of paper.

How is it necessary Hippo? What did Vista introduce that couldn't have been better done by simply slipstreaming them into XP and rebadging it a la Windows 98?

XP is different from 9x by a very large margin. And in general those changes are for the better despite compatibility problems when the OS was first released. What has Vista introduced that makes it worth it?
