Me too

My canonscan negative scanner doesn't work with XP, so I've been trying to get to grips with virtual PC and WinME

Horses for courses. Regular PC users for internet and email and some basic tasks will find Vista great.

However it still has some holes. The lack of multi-monitor support again has annoyed me. Still the same as in XP so Ultramon is needed to get some basic screen related functions going, and Ultramon seems buggy in Vista.

It also seems, a bit wobbly, perhaps it's me, but I have a P4 3.06GHZ. 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a 7600GT. It should be decent right? But it seems a bit flaky, the HDD usage is constantly grinding away and the UAC popup that keeps coming up every two minutes kind of shutters for a split second as it comes up.

Perhaps 2GB of RAM is needed, but I don't see why. A desktop OS should run on 1GB of RAM well.

Please, for the love of all thats holy...

SWITCH OFF UAC!!!

It's the single biggest problem with Vista for me. Was switched off a couple of weeks ago at work and it's much better.

Multi monitor support is fine for most arrangements. I've got 3 arranged in a line and a forth above one of others and it works fine for that.

Drivers are getting better as well, Creative is still lagging behind though.
