I installed vista a couple days ago and I am not very impressed. Anyone else using it and what do you think of it? I do like IE with tabs. and I like the look of it. It just takes so many steps to change the smallest option now.

My laptop doesn't meet the specs for Vista. :( I'll try it on my PC if I can get it working again. Is it cool?

we were playing with it again today at work and on a 2GHz machine with 512MB RAM,,,,and a 32MB video card,,,it rated a 1 out of 5 (with 5 being the best) for being able to run Vista.

it is a bit new to be able to give it a real test, and it has some interesting features,,,,,but it's still too early yet.

then I must have like .5 on the rating system, lol. it runs fairly well but AOL is not compatible, I installed AOL and it would not run and then it started giving me the blue screen of death until I uninstalled aol in safe mode.
