As well as Vista I have installed Win 98, Win Me, Win XP (and Amiga)
several times in the past and Vista was by far the quickest and the
easiest (Apart from the Amiga of course). Install of Vista including
reformatting the hard drive took 30 minutes (I timed it). It installed
the correct graphics card drivers and set the correct screen
resolution and also all my motherboard drivers and LAN, saving me two
tasks that I had to do when installing XP. Even my Amiga emulator
works perfectly on Vista.

I did have a problem getting updates but I eventually tracked that
down to my router needing a reset.

Thus far my experience with Vista has been great apart from
the UAC learning curve. I think I am just about on top of the
hill with that one but I am still a little out-of-puff :-)

BTW: I also have found that the Windows media centre does
not recognise my tuner card but this is not a problem for me
as I have no use for the Media Centre anyway.
