And Vista works really well so long as you don't mind a few games not running that great.
It really doesn't. I know any number of IT professionals who say it's debatable whether it's slightly better or slightly worse than Windows ME. It might be tolerable for a home user who happens to have a setup it likes ( but that could be said about ME too ) but for a serious OS for business users, it's really even more of a horrible mess than was suspected.
