Re: windows vista

from a h/ware side, my Bluetooth dongle doesn't work, it didn't like the motheroard chipset (winged about teh co-processor when it was actually teh northbridge chip)

It refused to connect to the Orange livebox yet julies XP laptop and mine running linux works fine. no error message or anything.

As I mentioned, copying files from digital camera is painful (1 gig of data took ~20 mins in Vista, ~2 in Linux on same laptop with same cable/camera)

Don't even think about viewing thumbnails as my PC locks up with 95% CPU hardward interrupts

IMHO it offers no real benefits over XP, the AERO interface is nice but I've had the same under linux for > 1 year and it runs a darn site faster in linux.
