Although this is true now.. you have to understand that vista code has been
rewritten....
the instability you see now is because vista was introduced to a world made
for XP...

however give it a little time, new hardware and a service pack... and you
will see that vista
is better...

the reason for this is not apparent... but it will be apparent once new
applications will start coming out that will be made to take advantage of
what vista has to offer.

As a technonaut, I must ride the wave of change... and see where it will
lead us. If everything fails.. XP will be there... its not going anywhere
:-)

Why is it called a hack when it's a simple tweak of a setting within the OS?
A hack is when you have to use workarounds and other means because there is
no simple setting within the OS to change something. But I guess "Top 10
Vista Configuration Settings" doesn't sound as impressive, even if it is
more accurate (though it's certainly not my top 10).

Then it would seem that Vista is better left off computers until this
happens so that most people don't have issues.

OEM XP is being cut off. This happened just after a number of system
builders began offering XP as an option again. Hmmmmmm

OEM Vista has downgrade rights to XP. Dell are even offering to enterprise
customers the option of buying a vista license with an XP image factory
installed.

Buy Vista now, install XP until you're ready to deploy Vista.
