I heard lots of rumor from various people at different IT company's comparing Vista to Windows ME and indicating that Vista is largely being ignored in the business community. A lot of businesses I deal are buying Vista but then down grading to Windows XP.
My own experience has seen laptops with a T7200, 2GB of RAM and X1660 chipset run like a slug and a laptop with T5500 chipset with 512 MB of RAM almost unworkable because it is so slow.
Even desktop computers with Core 2 duo chipset and 1 GB of RAM do not come close to meeting my performance expectations when running simple applications like word 2007.
I still have consistent problems with drivers on older and some newer equipment especially printers and scanners. I've normally resorted to Windows 98 drivers because they work more effectively than the VISTA drivers.
Does anyone else get the impression that Vista is one big bug and next year its probably going to be swept under the carpet with a replacement? I do know that some IT companies are putting an official complaint to Microsoft about the OS.
