If you run Vista 64 on a custom built system, I'd say that you like fiddling with computers and there's not much you'd consider an "annoyance" or "difficulty". Perhaps you are not a "fanboy" or "apologist", but clearly you are not an average home or business user. But people like me need people like you to work out the bugs, because I don't like it when computers need to be coaxed to work. How well does MPLAB run on Vista 64? How many versions of it have you installed? Was that fun? When I sit at a computer I want the time to be billable hours.
