Viva la Resistance!

I have a Sempron64 3400+ with 1.5GB of RAM, 80GB of HDD and a GeForce 7600GT - more than capable of running it, no?
I tried installing it on a spare partition last month, but the nVidia driver was crap (hung every startup and had glitchy window borders), the UAC annoyed the hell out of me until I found out how to switch it off, the Virtual Folders did my head in, lots of my programs didn't work (at that time, iTunes support was rubbish, although I'm told it's better now), and all of my games ran a lot slower than they did in XP.
(Example: BF2142 with everything on full gets about 45-55fps in XP, 25-35 in Vista.)

These things are probably fixable, but I really don't see the point when XP works fine most of the time. So Vista remains sitting on my shelf.

And yes, OSX is better. Very Happy
