Reasons NOT TO USE Windows Vista

Some friends of mine are already experimenting with Microsoft's new operating system "Vista" since it was available at our universities MSDNAA. The discussion here was quite interesting and I was already thinking about an upgrade.

    *Wow.. Win95 thought you'd rather try WinNT 4 instead of ;-)
    Update: Works quite well, but the track exit module seems to be f*** up :-(
