I also just started using Vista on my new Dell. It is fast, but then its a new pc with a quad processor. No advantage to the video, in fact, it is slightly worse than the same screen with XP. I think a new viseo driver is needed, but I have the latest. Other problems are an error message everytime I close a e-mail with AW2000, unread e-mails are not bold in AW2000, networking is a disaster, extremely slow not only on AW2000, but on every pc with Windows XP installed. My linux based NAS is extremely slow, the manufacturer can't yet get it up to speed. There are a few other problems as well.

I just received a new copy of Windows XP Pro last night, I have new hard drives waiting for it as well. I'm just going to remove and put away the original drives that came with it so that I can go back when fixes are made, however, generally speaking, it is not a improvement as far as ease of operation is concerned. Getting into the core of the operating system functions is made much more difficult.
