I game on it, browse the web, process words and edit photos with PSCS2 and have not noticed any serious flaws or slow spots. *shrug* Maybe the x86 version just sucks really bad. I dunno...

People hate Vista because:
1. Hating Microsoft is cool, just like hating Sony is cool now.
2. XP will run on a 200 MHz CPU with 128 MB ram decently. Get 512 MB of ram and you can't tell a difference from a computer made 6 years ago running XP and a computer made today running XP. Vista REQUIRES you to have a good computer with at least 1 GB of ram. Most users without a PC bought this year have less than 1 GB of ram, so Vista is a money sink for them. They see it as Microsoft forcing them to buy new hardware even though it's not an unreasonable request.
