Even after Vista was officially released, there were still LOADS of driver issues, and still are, I think. I had the joy of working for an IT retailer at the time, in the technical division, and was nearly attacked a few times by outraged customers (you can imagine how frustrated THEY were - they don't have our fantastic technical knowledge and as a result they felt really cheated). The problem didn't lie with Vista, though. Manufacturers had loads of time to submit compatability information and rewrite drivers for the new operating system. If I am not mistaken, Canon was the only manufacturer who was completely Vista ready...?

Theres too much of Vista trying to be clever and sort out your problems than letting you sort it out the good 'ol manual way. Point in case - I tried to change the IP of my network card... well after numerous Windows screens explaining a whole lot of nonsense, getting lost, control panel searches, I eventually found it. No easy way of getting to it. I'm telling you, developers are going to be cursing Vista. :-) Microsoft are doing a good job of hyping Vista up, but I’m plain scared of the beast!

Hope you got your Home Machine resurrected okay :). I think we'll be sticking with XP for a while .. specially for development. Am taking a look at Paul Thurrott's site, see if it gets me excited.
