Now that many have had a good chance at trying Vista, it appears the main problems come with the ' MUST HAVE EVERYTHING NEW ' brigade, who blindly rush out and attempt to install Vista on an existing PC. In spite of there being a site for testing its viability below all does not appear to be straitforward.

Pesonally I would NEVER attempt to install a newer version of any new Windows on an existing PC. How can you ever expect the new version to include ALL the drivers needed for every software and hardware in existence, when this was obviously produced often long before anyone ever heard of the new version of Windows such as Vista.
If I do convert to Vista it will be for a completely new system where I hope the manufacturer of the PC has had a good chance to test it works OK.
