This is what I don't understand as well. I have a Pentium-D 2.8ghz, 1.5gb of RAM and a GeForce 8600GTS, not exactly a high end system and I just don't get why people who have better systems than I do have so many problems with Vista. The only software I needed a new version of was Nero and the only hardware that needed a new driver was my Lexmark All in One. Gaming is also very good, if there is any difference I certainly haven't noticed it and in the case of some older games Vista runs them better than XP, even with the dual-core hotfix installed.

Yes you can turn all of the graphical frippery off if you want to.
