If there's one advantage Microsoft's Hardware division should have over
everyone else making cameras, mice and keyboards, it would be the
ability to write supporting software that worked pretty well with

literally unusable with Vista.

So far, Transit has been using Vista Business full-time for a
fortnight. And so far, we've found nothing that works better than in
Windows XP, dozens of things that are annoyingly different without
being a functional improvement, and several things that work at best
intermittently and at worst not at all. On the whole, we wish we'd
never moved.

Waiting a couple of months for critical patches and purchasing Vista pre-installed on a new machine seemed like a foolproof way to avoid most of the woes new Vista users have experienced, but I hadn't counted on just how bad the networking stack in the latest version of Windows is.
