Is Microsoft Vista really that bad?

I keep hearing rumors that some users are having problems with Microsoft new Vista operating System. Is Microsoft Vista really that bad? I expected some glitches when Vista first came out, but I would have thought that a large majority of the problems with Vista would have resolved by now. What kinds of problems are people having with Vista? I am thinking about buying a new computer in a few months and want to know if I should get Vista. Some people say no. This really confuses me.

I don't have any problems at all with it, in fact I like it better than any previous version. Make sure to get a lot of RAM, I would recommend at least 2 G.

Reguardless of whether Vista is good or bad doesn't matter -- XP is done (will be soon) and if you don't want to use a MAC or to run a Linux dist. your only choice is VISTA. With updates and so forth it will continue to grow and get better. PS in a few months you probably won't be able to buy an XP machine.(now it's tough)....Try to get the Vista version you want from the get go... upgrading Vista ?? to Vista Ultimate or Business or ?? is expensive after the purchase.
im a computer programmer, and i dont really find vista that bad, lots of unknowledge people out there keep spreading retarded rumours. i have vista ultimate i do enjoy using it, although it may be a bit ''buggy'' patches and updates manage to resolve the problems, but if you buy vista, just go for the ultimate, the other versions are not so good! lots of people hate vista because (as i said before), there are still some bugs, but its not as bad as 2months ago, xp used to be the same when it first came out.
