I moved my Dell laptop back to Vista. I updated all of the drivers and picked a more stable nVidia driver. Now all my issues are gone! I had one outstanding issue with Flash CS3 running slow, but after switching it to run in “XP SP2 Compatibility mode,” it runs fine.
I also probably helps that I added 2gb more ram – for 4gb total. This thing is fast now!
I’m out of complaints for Vista. It took a year – but better late than never.
