IME most Linux distributions 'suffer' from the same fate as MS's offerings. Every new generation seems runs slower and require more hardware resources. I bought a new laptop (in a hurry as previous one died) that unfortunately came with Vista. I decided to stick with it to see if I could learn to like it, but even with all the fancy graphics turned off, and the interface set to "classic" mode I still end up getting frustrated with it, so it will be replaced with XP as soon as I have time. A major screw up (IMO) is the omission of the "Up" toolbar button in Windows Explorer. When I first started using Vista I thought I had simply missed it, or maybe not enabled it, as surely MS couldn't have removed such a vital part of explorer? Unfortunately a quick search on Google revealed that they had, and many other users were frustrated with the same issue. The ridiculously named "breadcrumb" is quite handy, but it doesn't replace the up button.
