-Bad compatibility with XP programs and games.

Derp derp. It had bad compatibility with DOS programs and games. So does XP. I still get the occasional problem getting Civilization 2 to run on my XP machine without the use of an ISO. What your basically complaining about is "Things that aren't meant to run on this OS aren't running!"

-Bad compatibility with a lot of hardware. And of a lot of the hardware that did work, you had to go through a song and dance to get it working.

-Try networking a Vista PC with an XP PC. (I shutter at the hours I spent wasting away trying to figure out the password on a computer that had no password.)

I did it at the office I used to work. I had no problems. L2Computer?

-Security that was either extremely annoying or flat out absent.

Again, L2Computer. If it's annoying you, you can turn the notifications off. If it's not enough for you, you can turn it up. What do you want?

-A lot of hidden options or just unnecessarily moved ones. (A problem that might take a few seconds to fix on XP would take over an hour in Vista simply because the options for it were hard to find and the way the options were set up were completely different than they were in XP.)

This is an argument against all updating. Most people had the same problem with Office 2007. This isn't the program's fault, but the users. There's an unrealistic expectation of "I know how to use X, so it should be the same on Y", when there's no reason to believe it's such. You paid for something new.

-Resource hog that slowed down any simple task that you wanted to accomplish dramatically.

Yeah, I had the same problem when I tried to put XP on a P2, 233 MHz machine way back when, and I have the same problem when trying to play NWN2 on my current machine. It helps if your machine meets the minimal requirements of what you're running.

Just to name a few.

I never bought Vista myself, but I used it on friend's computers, family member computers, and public computers. I always had issues trying to figure out simple tasks. It was a nightmare. It made using the computer so much harder than it had to be. I'm the guy in my family that people go to for computer assistance. But, every time someone had a problem with Vista, I could not fix it.. I had to figure out a compromise. And that's after hours of fiddling.

Perhaps you're not as proficient as you think you are. L2Computer.

This. Vista had a few nice parts to it, but it was by no means a casual computer.

Unless you count the Fisher Price machines that Apple is marketing as computers, there is no such thing as a "casual computer".

And it had a good lot of problems for gamers.

Never experienced any. In fact, games I couldn't run on my XP machine (Halo 2, NWN2, Spore) I managed to get working on Vista.
