Could be 'cos Vista is crap and once the surface is scratched looks exactly like a more intolerant version of XP.
I had the misfortune to 'commission' a PC for a friend who had bought just a new tower unit loaded with Vista - after the initial info gathering Vista rebooted into a display mode not supported by the older display = Nothing on the screen but a msg 'are the display settings correct?'
Had to reboot the bloody thing into F8 safe mode to get around the problem.
How many end users know about F8?
