1. Windows 7 is coming out this Fall.
It's supposed to be a lot better and half the size. I think someone told me they cut out all the crap that Vista includes as "desirable features".

I'm still on XP and will remain with it until most of the software I use now stop working with it (after future upgrades) and am forced to upgrade the OS.

2. Disable User Account Control and life will be better.

If Vista still bothers the hell out of you after that, there's always Ubuntu.

Vista's been rock-solid for me. I run Ubuntu 9.04 on a VM inside Vista, but I rarely use it.
