Vista not such a big success here.

I didnt even know it was for sale yet. Where was the big fan far, the midnight opening, the queues on the 6oclock news etc?
System.IO.Path.IsPathRooted() does not behave as I would expect

I just established that Telstra are not supporting it yet, maybe other people have to stick with XP in order to connect to the web ?

I didn't know that telstra had anything to do with it..... or does your connection require software to work?

Sorry to nitpick, but this has been bugging me. The sentence should read: Still searching for a good resource to LEARN English grammar ...

Just wait, Vista will prove itself as did 2000, XP and Windows 2003 server. Vista is a golden and will only improve. With in three years most people will be running Vista and XP will be that old OS no one wants any more.

I disagree as well. My memory of Win2K is that it was pretty rapidly picked up. I know I had switched to using it exclusively by Mar/Apr of 2000. I don't see myself using Vista exclusively for a while.

I did have a BSOD from it once, but that is about the worst (I guess that is pretty bad). What problems have you had?

It keeps dropping out, only it doesn't know. And then, I can't reconnect.

I disagree. It is a power hungry monstrosity of an OS. I will not be using it until the last moment possible.

No, that is not the problem. I have tried various configurations, I get 4 out of 5 signal bars

I used 2000 from a while before it was released as it was a massive improvement over NT on the laptop I was using at the time. I had XP on my games machine at home from almost day 1 but kept my laptop running 2000 until a while after XP SP1 came out. This time, however, both my Desktop and Laptop are 2-3 years old and run everything I need to use as well as I need them to run; neither machine is going to be capable of running Vista. While they continue to work as I would expect them to, I feel no need to spend over £1000 to upgrade my operating system. I know some gamers who are thinking of upgrading to get the benefit of DX10 at some point but even in the gamer community this seems to be a minority of users. Russell
