Everyday users may indeed not notice anything in particular but, if one is a tech of any sort, or used to using applications that worked fine under XP but not in Vista, then the slowdowns and breakdowns of Vista become much more noticeable. For example, in comparison to XP, copying is markedly slower, booting tends to be slower, some applications and games don't work properly and many of the new 'security' features are just a pain in the arse.

Yeah I don't have a problem with it either. Works fine for me.

I am a network/computer technician on a large server 2003 domain, and I have not noticed any problems with Vista. It performs just as well as XP, boots up quicker, loads the domain's group policies quicker. All my software works perfectly fine, some is run in compatibility mode for XP or before, but XP had the same feature. As for security, as long as user account control is turned off, security is better than XP, and no more annoying, in fact, I get no security centre warnings in Vista, whereas I get them constantly in XP.

No much problems either. However, some old software could work on XP, but not on Vista.

I have to say, I was dreading having Vista when I got my new laptop.....but I haven't had any problems at all.....YET.....dum dah dum!

I would personally argue that, being more of an advanced user, the security features are nothing more than a nuisance. I can secure my computer myself, thank you, please do as I tell you, computer. This is why I usually use Linux, it actually listens unlike Windows.

With me its that Vista is way too bloated.

I think the folks having the most trouble with Vista are those who are trying to run Vista on 2+ year old hardware. The newest PCs with Vista already installed are likely to have fewer problems.

Its framerates are much lower in videogames. Videogames are the only reason why I use Windows. I use Linux and OS X for everything else.
