Yeah SP1 was loads better; I was getting random windows disappearing pre-SP1.
But the biggest problem with Vista IMO is the DWM. It is a memory HOG. Even with three gigabytes I was getting low memory warnings every 20 minutes when running two instances of VS, Photoshop, and a few Chrome windows. dwm.exe was right up there at the top or close to it for memory usage in Task Manager.
I finally got fed up and researched what to do about the DWM and discovered it's just an Aero thing (which I guess I knew but it didn't click until that point). Which means if I switch my theme to Vista Basic, the dwm goes away. So I asked myself: are semitransparent title bars, drop shadows and live taskbar previews really worth low memory warnings every 20 minutes?
You can probably guess my decision.

...and i will defend it vigorously, until the day i have a machine that can run it.
---- You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

Actually that looks more like a good old fashioned spelling mistake, imo.
