There was similar resistance to XP. This largely died away after SP2 brought better support for wireless and USB2 along with security that was less bad.

Vista changes things that hackers used (albeit in large software houses that should have known better) and breaks a lot of old applications.

Let us hope that SP2 for Vista will see the demise of unsigned 32-bit drivers - this would be a really significant watershed.

I have unloaded Vista Home Premium from my new laptop.
