I've heard lots of negative about Vista, but so far on this notebook that came preloaded with the Home version, it seems ok. What are the major gripes?

>If you happen to have a Vista Never CD lying around, please send it to me. Scratch it up as much as you like. Put it in the microwave. Chop it into tiny little pieces with an axe. Have at it!

>>I can't quite figure out what this is. There is a CD that came with a new laptop, but it says you have to buy the upgrade before using. So, what do I need the Anytime CD for?
