I don't have much choice. I bought a new laptop recently that inevitably came with Vista, which I find clunky and annoying as it keeps doing things in the background that interfere with what I'm doing. OK, so an auto-restart takes me back to where I was and I lose nothing, but the interruption wates time. I'll get used to the OS I suppose and learn what features to turn off and how, but no sooner than thats done than I have to migrate to another new system - I get a free upgrade to Windows 7 in October but if I leave it for a couple of years while the bugs are fixed, I'll have to pay for it.
