Hi Janie!
I was so excited a year ago to order a new computer with Vista installed. Now I find that it is not compatible with my version of WordPerfect. I don't want to pay to upgrade my WP, so guess I will have to use MSWord until it straightens itself out.  I haven't found anything else to not like about it, though. I think I could still be content with XP -- there just isn't that much to rave about Vista from a non-techie point of view.

I must be a strange one since I absolutely love my Vista. I don't have any issues with it at all and love the new look. It practically runs itself! It took some time to get used to it but nothing hard or frustrating. Maybe the people who don't like it have software compatibility issues? All of my old programs work on it like Photoshop, Mcafee, Lynksys and Word. I do have one scanner that is having issues but I just grab my old computer for that.

Overall, Vista works well for me. I have had some software probs. (programs that absolutely would not run on Vista), which resolved when I bought newer versions of the programs. I think, as long as you're prepared to possibly spend some money either upgrading or replacing some programs: Vista should be fine.
I've not had any major problem with it.

I'm still on XP but my girlfriend has a brand new computer, and so far it's spent more time away getting repaired, that it's spent at her house. Poor Cleo (the computer) is very close to getting booted out!
She hates Vista.
