2nd Memory Hog! This OS uses tooooo much memory. Whenever I would look at the stats of my machine it was constantly working harder than it should.

3rd User Account Control is annoying! Everytime you click on something, Vista asks you if you want to open that item. Well DUH!?!? Isn't that why I clicked on it in the first place?

Overall..PITA. Stick to XP

I use Vista Business on my tower & I love it, but you are right it certainly is a memory hog (I am running 4 gigs of memory)

The user account control is easy enough to turn off, I turned it off 10 minutes after I installed it.........

Why go thru all that? I just turn it off. Control Panel/Administrative Tools/User Accounts/On or Off

That is what I do also (about five minutes after I finish the install......)

Search for "NMB" fans at NewEgg. They're the only fans I use. They not only last forever, but they're very quiet. Almost all of the noise they generate is air, not motor noise, and if you buy the low-RPM versions, you won't even hear much air noise.

I use those fans also, I have a super powerful tower (it has 4 15,000 rpm Seagate Cheetah's/dual channel Adaptec scsi controller etc etc etc in it) & with those fans it is almost totally silent (unlike some of my old beasts that sounded like a jet engine taking off)
