I use 64Bit Vista Ultimate, I will never go back to XP.
I have had the occasional hickup, but its new software, there is a service pack that is comming or has come out for it.

What problems are you having with it?

Aside from:
The same questions being asked 50 times a day,
The crappy controls/layout (look fancy but not logical/intuative),
Windows Explorer REALLY flaky - eg created files not shown - but upon checking they are there etc..... And the wasted realestate in viewing the folders, and the crappy defaults (I don't want everybloody thing defaulted to some obsure section of my C drive).....

My issues are more that my existing software like my client management software isn't running (2 days wasted trying to get that sorted).
My accounting software not running correctly (although that's nearly sorted).

I dunno just overal frustrated by dozens of little CRAP features....

Have you turned off UserAccountControll?
That will turn off the Are You Sure question popus.

The problem I normally have with computers is between the keyboard and the chair....

I agree with Jeepology.... GET A MAC!!!!

Then you can choose whether you want to run windows or not! What an unused choice that is!!!
