I recently got a new laptop with Vista Home Premium loaded.... and I'll admit that as delivered, there's some annoying crap already set up... but like any new program, once you spend a little time getting familer with it, it's not so bad... I spent a few hours getting mine set up to my liking and got all the pain in the ass stuff turned off or disabled (all the over the top security crap like the permissions pop ups that Charley was bitching about... you can turn that off Charley

).. and now I really like it. But out of the box "as delivered" .. yeah it kinda blows getting used to at first... Guess I can call mine "day 2" now

And it works better than my old XP one in my opinion.. I've had mine for about a month now and I like it
