My few month old desktop runs on Vista Home. Have a 2 year-old notebook runsning on XP Pro. Overall, I dislike Vista, b/c:
- All except one of USB ports don't work (despite constant fixes). All my thumb drives, external hard drives are not connectable to it.
- My 3-year old printer does not get recognized by it (even with latest drive update)
- Booting up takes 20x longer than my XP-based notebook (yes, I did try to eliminate start-up items, and stop auto updates etc...).

I am thinking about going back to the Mac when I need new computer.
