The Windows Vista Launch was one of the most bungled events in the history of product launches. The Apple zealots and FUD mongers had all the fun and Edelman PR made sure they were well looked after.
I've been running Windows Vista on and off for two years now and we're still waiting for the video drivers that will bring us the full Vista experience. I'm confident the GPU's and drivers will arrive soon and I'll be able to delete the XP partition on my laptop.
