Do a blog search for Vista bugs, or Vista issues, or Vista problems or Vista sucks or.... You get the idea. You will find loads of people complaining about it. Microsoft have a well deserved reputation for releasing poorly QA'd software. That's why they are generally known as a 3rd revision company. Witness the shocking number of bugs in the Live.com sites when they were first released (I have loads of screen shots). In contrast to that, you very rarely come across bugs in Google sites. Derek,

It's got bugs just like every other piece of complex software - to say it won't reach production quality until SP2 without any hard evidence (beyond your own machine's issues) to support that viewpoint is a little foolish.

If so, how long do you get to keep it for? Is this Vista machine the same Vaio as Microsoft previously provided you? If so, how long do you get to keep it for?
