Vista does have many many problems but you can turn all that stuff off. It's called UAC, you turn it off and it wont ask you stupid questions. All games, programs, etc, have worked for me. EQ2, UIBuilder, all Steam games I have, as well as programs, Cinema 4d, 3ds Max, Photoshop cs2, Hammer, everything.

For EQ2 I don't see any performance issuues, I turn off all visual themes, and run through Service Pack 2. I do not have to run as admin.

People are really bashing Vista, when they haven't tried it and figure it out.

It's alright, I have Vista Ultimate. It pretty much like XP but is more protective.
