I use it with my work PC. Windows explorer crashes all the time, problem with running SQL server 2005, and SLOW. I actually prefer running Vista - UI is annoying, but is much more stable running applications. It is a real productivity killer for IT professionals. Also comes with Internet Explorer 8 which crashes all the time. Must reboot the computer every morning due to some security patch download - which takes forever to shutdown & install.

Poor job of managing memory and multi-tasking (slow, and sudden pauses while executing programs). This could be a OK personal operating system for accessing Internet and playing games. It is a poor OS for running Visual Studio, SQL server, or doing any type of software development work.
