I just received my new laptop yesterday. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. I booted it up, read the tutorials in about a half hour, and it's all over - no pain, no confusion.
I actually think that it is a significant improvement over Windows XP. The layout is clean, and understanding it seemed to be quite intuitive. The graphics are great, and the rotating 3D display of your running programs is a pretty cool piece of eye candy. It runs my old Office Professional 2000 suite, and Bibleworks 5.0 (after a patch for the fonts) without a glitch. The 3GB of RAM allow it to run very smoothly, and I have had no problem with freeze ups, crashes, or slow performance.
The OS came pre-installed, and I wonder if most of the complaints have come from people attempting to upgrade from XP as opposed to a clean installation, or with insufficient RAM?
Anyway, I'm very pleased with it. No problems here.
