I've been using vista home premium 64-bit for over a year and never had it crash on me. Maybe you guys just need to get a decent computer. from Compusa.com Ive used windows rc 7.100 for the last 2 months now, and found it to be just what i wanted. It runs like xp, but looks like vista with a few tweaks. from Amazon.com I installed Vista 64 SP1 (OEM version) on my new build. I have had no problems with it. from Amazon.com It seems a lot of people who comment on this don't know what hardware they have and install a 64-bit OS on a computer with 32-bit only hardware. Know what your computer is capable of before you buy this, also if you want the ability of having more than 3Gb of RAM on your computer without having to use vista, I would recommend 64-bit XP. But with XP means you use DirectX 9 instead of 10. from Amazon.com This OS has many problems. It has very limited drivers, simple things like binding a second address to a NIC just doesn't work, explorer inexplicably consuming 1.5 gigs of RAM, etc, etc, etc. I finally had to put my old XP machine back in service and I find myself using it over half of the time. from Amazon.com Great operating system. I use it for my home theater and plays and looks perfect on a 52" screen. Also, watch movies, Hulu, whatever. from Amazon.com Some notes about Vista in light of previous reviews: Programs more than five years old likely will not run on it. -- Vista will not run 16-bit programs. from Amazon.com Yes Vista Sucks we've known this since its inception. Well this version with the laptop i use runs quick but yes is still very quirky, but nothing that can't be rectified by a little patience. from Amazon.com Having recently (Apr 09) built an Intel DX58SO (i7)-based system, I wanted to see full performance from day-1. All my historical software has been compatible with 32-bit Vista, and after reading a lot of (hate to use the term, but) whiney reviews about 64-bit Vista being incompatible with "all my important software" and "no drivers available" I still decided to dive into 64-bit Vista with the intent to upgrade to Windows-7 when it is released later in the year. from Amazon.com I first got the 32 bit Vista with a new computer for fear that the 64 bit Vista won't be compatible with old stuff. I used it about a year because sheer curiosity got me to get the 64 bit Vista too just to see what's different. from Amazon.com
