I quite like vista all works really well for me and its a legit version too :blink: . I get awsome support for my graphics card and i can get all the resolutions i want as xp just didnt allow it

.

So overall i like it, only thing it just doesnt feel the same in cs :crying: .

I used Vista at the time the survey was done, but have dropped it now. Nothing but trouble, none of the drivers (Even betas) liked my 8800GTS. Blue Screens and freezes during CS:S. Plus it just decided twice not to boot up (even in comand prompt), needed a check disk to work. So formatted and now on XP x64. Everything works fine.

(P.S: the people with low spec computers probably have games like Zuma etc rather than CS:S)

Hows that x64 treating you? Any enhancements? Speed boosts? or is it just x86 with a facelift? :g:

It's better than I remember (I first tried it when it was first released) now everything has drivers. Everything is far more stable than under Vista. I can't really coment on speed, it's running fast, but after a spell of vista it's not easy to judge. I've noticed Alt-Tabbing is smoother (still a little too long for my liking).
Acts more like a service pack than a new operating system. Little things like the extra buttons on my keyboard run by default (didn't under vista or 32-bit xp). Not worth rebuying windows for, but if like me you get it free and get to choose it's worth going for.
