View Single Post - Vista upgrade?

Well, there are two things I would suggest.

1. Make sure all your hardware is supported by drivers under Vista. This is probably one of the No. 1 headaches when migrating a system to Vista. Especially if you have older hardware (Printers, Webcam, Mice, Speciality Keyboard, etc).

2. Check if there are known compatibility issues with your software. Like drivers this is a major headache. If all your software is the latest version, you are more than likely golden. If you have software that is more than a few years old, be aware you could have to upgrade or try running the application in Windows XP compatibility mode, and/or as an admin.

That all being said, I personally love Vista. I know I'm in the minority, but I like how it looks and feels.

There are lots of new tweaks you can do to improve things. So if you like how it looks, but something annoys you, don't jump on the "Vista sucks" bandwagon. Look for the work around; such as shutting off the UAC (which is a pain in the @ss but good for those morons that click OK on every pop-up). And if your system doesn't perform great, turning off Aero.
