I have no problem with the stability of Vista, my issues are speed, the UI just seems slow. Granted the nvidia drivers are crap and that could be part of the UI slowness but if game performance isn't there then the OS has no use to me.

I will try again down the line, eventually things will get better I am sure.

Soul, I have seen the same. The NVIDIA driver is garbage and I haven't gamed on the Vista side, hence the reason I made this a dual boot. So far thou, the system looks promising but needs alot of maturing.

I like the Aero Desktop mode. Kind of cool.

I use Vista 32-bit.

I can't imagine the Nvidia is just that bad, I mean my UI is extremely fast, multi-tasking is far better in Vista than it ever was in XP, and the system is really simply a dream. Besides about a 100MB increase in memory use in the desktop that's about the only disadvantage I've noted with Vista. The only problem I've had is that XFire does not work in game and I believe this is a issue with their setup and UAC (which I have disabled).

The Nvidia Vista 64 driver is not up to par with other releases. Even with the latest download, when scrolling in Explorer, Acrobat or Word, there is alot of jerkiness.

I've heard scrolling peaking 100% CPU usage even on Core 2 Duo rigs for some Nvidia users, clearly a driver problem there.

I have six different programs right now and then Firefox open with at least 30 tabs at last count. I'm averaging about 6% with switching windows going to about 10%.
