Yes, everyone's been having a great deal of fun at the expense of Microsoft's new Windows Fistula Vista.

But there have only been a handful of problems:

Workaround Discovered For "Clean Install" With Vista Upgrade DVDs

Vista 'Family Discount' Bites Back

UK Green Party Claims Vista is Environmentally Unfriendly

Vista sends PC prices sky high

Alex Ionescu Cracks Windows DRM

Vista Breaks 90% of Games

Vista pranks possible via voice command Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you can verbally order someone else's computer to shut down. Or, if they're running in Administrator mode, to reformat the hard drive. That last option may not be a bad thing...

Rush to Fix Flaws and for First Service Pack

Gartner Dings Vista On BitLocker

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols : "While Vista had no trouble finding and activating the Intel High Definition audio chip (aka Azalia), what it couldn't work with at all was the common-as-dirt RealTek ALC 882 audio chipset." (In plain English, it can run the fancy-dancy speakers, but the plain-jane one bult into the motherboard is too sophisticated for it... SAY WHAT?)

See? Not much at all, at all. ^_^
