New comp! and cursed Vista!

I build a new computer. A kickass computer. Then I had the stupidity to install Vista on it...


For the nerdy ones, the specs are -
- Core 2 Duo 2.4
- 2gb RAM
- Leadtek 8800GTX
- 1TG worth of HDDs
all in the Antec 900 case.

I must say the 8800GTX is one big card (I have a photo of it being larger than Cybele's face), and its one scary card! It's run everything I've thrown at it at maximum everything *drools*.

However...I had to install Vista...

Let me just say...that as fancy and hyped up its aero interface is, its not worth the pain of finding most of your applications (which check if you're in XP) don't work, and most hardware including my motherboard sound dual inputs (curiously Vista certified) without drivers. Lucky I still have my laptop around or my phone and mail wouldn't sync either!

So take it from me, until its more mature and companies start writing drivers for it - don't get it for the love for your sanity!
