After about 3 weeks, I have uninstalled Vista

After using Vista for about 3 weeks I came to the conclusion that I could not continue to have it as my primary Windows computer. It’s far too buggy for day to day usage. Sure it’s in beta but I don’t recall XP beta being this bad.

The biggest problem is that anything that uses Direct X was giving me headaches. The lack of proper drivers for my graphics card played a huge factor.

There were several other bugs that were also annoying. The one cool feature of rendering the application window as a thumbnail as you hovered over the taskbar would quickly get confused on what window it owned and should render. Yes that’s a small thing but it bugged the hell out of me!

IE 7 kept crashing on me. It still has a long way to go when it comes to properly handling sites designed using the latest CSS 2.0 standards.

The fact that I could not get my RAID controller to work should have stopped me right there from installing it.

When the next beta comes out, I will probably try it again. Until then, it’s XP for now.
