1. Buy a decent computer or don't complain about the performance issues.
2. Go to your folder options and disable simple file sharing..
3. Disable UAC.

1. It was a brand new laptop right out of the store.
2. Isn't that simple. The Laptop with Vista swears that I password protected access to it over the network when I didn't. I can see the computer over the network, but I can't access it. That is viewing it from the XP machine. When I try to move stuff from the Vista machine to the XP one, it simple doesn't work.
3. I already did, it was the first thing I did after I got 5 messages of "Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?"

I was seriously contemplating getting Vista before I actually worked with it. Now there is no way I'm getting it for at least 2 more years.

Everything about the system just seems completely unnecessary. I can do everything I need to with XP and it runs better. So why should I have to upgrade a PC to us an OS that lets me do less stuff than XP?

The thing is with Vista is that I can say that it sucks and you can say it doesn't for TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASONS. There isn't one way to use a PC. One person might use it for one thing and never run into a problem, but someone else might use it for another way and have a truck load of problems. The biggest issue with Vista that I have ran into is compatibility problems. The second biggest issue is its interface and finding things, but that takes getting used to so that doesn't really matter.

For all of you who say you have had Vista without problems, do you use it in a way that it demands being on a home network connected to an XP machine? Because that is what I've had to go through when setting it up.

Vista itself isn't a bad OS. If I only had one computer that ran Vista, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but because I need it to be relyant on an XP machine, it constantly runs into problems. And these problems are simple problems that I already know how to fix and would be able to if it was XP.

Vista itself is fine, it is just that we do not need it yet in this point in time.
