Well, I built a brand new PC over the summer and loaded it with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit. Big mistake, Pro tools didn't work, my M Audio 410 fireware recording interface wouldn't work, my line6 pod wouldn't interface with it, countless other software tools I took for granted wouldn't work on this OS.

Well, I kept it for a few months, the reason? Direct X 10, I thought this was the holy grail for video games. I got Call of Duty 4 and Crysis thinking my mind was going to be blown. I go over to my friends house who's running Win Xp, SAME DIFFERENCE. Direct X 10 makes no difference whatsoever.

My Vista install dual booted with Win Xp pro, my PC has crashed and needed a reload 3 times since August, can you believe that?

I've reached a breaking point - it's over, I don't care I wasted 250 bucks, I'm downgrading to Windows Xp Pro 32 bit. What's worse is my Vista key that was printed on my PC case has like fallen off because I spilt beer on it, so I can never go back. Oh well, I'm not missing anything.

Anyone else hate Windows Vista or love it?
