I have had little or no problems with running any of my software. Have you considered that your tool wasn't following the guidelines. And I'm not talking about specific Vista guidelines but ones that have been there for a while. If your program had followed the guidelines it should work on Vista very easily. With a little additional tweaking you can also get around the UAC irritation also.

I don't think there were every any guidelines for Windows development that you could take seriously. I remember once reading in a MSDN artical "you should avoid writing to the registry too much". MS apps themselves broke that one, writing kbs to the registry with wild abandon.

but that would be biased 
Actually, I voted yes.

Who is "we"? Certainly not me, I've been developing in it for over 9 months now and I'm very happy with it.

Me too, I have been developing on vista during the past 6 months. Besides of some initial problem, I'm quite happy too. I don't see it as worse than XP (I may be wrong).

Not that much bad that one should hate it!
Well, the prob with me is the size of its installation..

Looks like you're wrong. The yes/no options are almost equal in the poll at this moment.

Definitely.
Or how much do they have to pay you, when you have to program on that.
Or do you think the Service pack 1 is going to change something

We can just assume that "I haven't yet used Vista enough to make a call"
means no as well

Let's wait and see what the poll says. I think it's time we ditch the "everyone hates Vista" and get a real idea of how well it's being accepted

Chris,
You're right, there are quite a few people out there that do like Vista. I'm not one of them. One of the things that drives me nuts about each new operating system from Microsoft is the new interface. I understand the current XP interface just fine. Then the new one comes out and they change the look and feel of it. I understand that things need to change or we would still be stuck in DOS or Windows 3.1, but I wonder how much better the new interface makes things. One of the first things I noticed (and I do use Vista for testing at work) is the renaming of "Add or Remove Programs" to "Programs and Features". It took me several minutes to find this. It makes me wonder what other things I can't find cause they changed the name of it. The functionality seems to be the same.
I could go on, but I'm sure you have heard it all before. I'll eventually adapt, but I would prefer a more consistent interface while bringing me new features.
