Not at all. You're the one who posts profanity, insults, lies and
bluster, not me.
I really have no feeling towards it one way or the other, but I will probably
end up with Vista on the new PC we buy just because that's what it comes with
it and I'm not savvy enough to try and run 2 OS at the same time... All I
really need to know is whether I'm going to have problems re-installing
periperals, games or software that are more than 5 years old (or 10 years
old). I guess I will need to research each individual item to check for
compatibility issues, huh?

You couldn't find anyone who'd want to purchase Frank's brain. ****, he left
half of it on the battlefield. The half he's retained is so warped and
injured that his mom won't let him out of the house without wearing a
football helmet. If he was to get a bump on the head, his IQ would drop
from 60 down to 59 and all his computer privileges would be taken away.

I must say the developers at Microsoft do have a sense of humour.

Your ASSUMPTIONS about the ability and needs of the OP are typical for
you.
This suits your blind agenda.
Non technical users succeed with Windows Vista regularly just as they
have with previous versions of Windows.
Do not confuse non technical with an inability to learn or adapt.
The fact you feel you must be a "technical user" may describe your
own inabilities while saying little about others.
Many people of various skills from very little to a great deal have
success where you regularly claim failure.
That also says much about you.
"all over Vista for compatibility problems"
And what have the specific product manufacturers said to you when you
asked them what they are doing about their products compatibility
issues?
Windows Vista performs well on two older computers of mine, a laptop
and a desktop.
A FACT you can NOT disprove.

Well, I have researched and found out my scanner and my digital camera will
not support Vista. (both are probably 5+ years old but working just fine for
what i need) So I seriously have to get new periperals if want to use
vista???

Bingo. The Vista boys and the hardware boys want you to open your
wallet. A lot.

What do you need Vista to do for your camera? If it's a question of
uploading photos use the camera's memory card.
