Everywhere you look its windows vista this.. windows vista that but not once have i read that it will make half of my computer components stop working now this isnt even old hardware tthis is the latest creative xfi card and Two Geforce 7950gx running in sli mode. Whats the problem you ask,well it all comes down to drivers and lack of support. so Ive now switched back to windows media centre and im playing games and listening to music without a random bluescreen every two minutes. who said change is better?
You obviously did something wrong since i've not had one single problem with Vista and my X-Fi sound card. I don't care that the drivers are still only beta, they work well and that's what counts.

You must have done something wrong, I havent even had a burp except for nVidia drivers which I was able to work around.
I haven't had any bluescreen issues on VISTA with my hardware or x-fi. However, performance in games are terrible compared to XP. So I now have a dual boot system.
So you're saying that driver support on an OS that's been out for less than four months isn't that great yet?
OMG! Who'd a thunk it? :P
I run Vista Ultimate fine (and have been since the RTM release on MSDN, as well as the various Beta and RC incarnations for more than a year now), but I know well enough not to run -any- new OS as a single OS on any primary box. I have a clean install of XP32 and Vista Ultimate 64 running on my main rig and I'm happy as can be. Sure, not everything works perfectly in Vista (app wise anyway, my hardware works fine) but about 75% of what I do with my computer works great. What few things that either don't work in Vista (Nero, N-Tune) or what few things work slower (Oblivion, X3) I just run in XP.
I didnt expect things to run great straight away i did find turning the graphics down in games also alowed me to play them but i couldnt find anyway to get my soundcard to work when playing music and thats what annoyed me the most maybe some of you have got it working perfectly but thats computers for you even the slightest differance in hardware can cause a variety of different errors

you might want to consider breaking up your sentences with the occasional period or punctuation mark or better yet paragraph breaks to make them easier for other people to read since when they look like giant run on sentences like this they can be a little hard on the eyes and not so easy to understand by the way what kind of sound card do you have on your system that you couldn't get working in vista and also what was the blue screen error you were getting and did you look in the event logs after a crash to identify what was causing the problem
