My Vista development box died yesterday so I had to rebuild.  Vista was a mistake when I originally setup the box.  It is a dog, annoying and really not suited for Visual Studio .NET development.  I went back to Windows XP 64bit instead which runs so much better.

I have an old laptop that I installed the Windows 7 beta on a few days ago.  Windows 7 is actually running as fast (if not faster) than Windows XP.  I have my fingers crossed that Microsoft will release a solid product later this year.  Stability and speed are my most important factors in considering an operating system.  Vista was a bad choice on my part.
