Ya, the best advice I've heard is that you have to wait a year or so until they patch Vista, like what occured with XP. But Vista's bugs are actually seemingly "features" or something.

All this stuff is supposed to "secure" the OS from tampering, but it is really just make work. It's better to scratch VISTA and install XP in its place.

That's probably why Microsoft is so interested in making all those "VISTA" only programs. Ensure you have to use Vista.
