I haven't heard about that, but there is a "desktop" in there you can use ... though it's been nerf'd.

Vista SP3 = Win 7
Vista wasn't that bad imo , it just got bad press from the beginning.
Maybe a few quirks which were fixed in SP1
Oh ... I managed to reference Sossaman gear in a uni thing I wrote today. Nothing worth posting, just a lead-in to talking about HP's nearly released Project Moonshot high efficiency server systems.

Overall I agree, but I've had several Vista machines after a few years just randomly start loving to disk thrash for no apparent reason and slow way down. Just sits there grinding away doing absolutely nothing. Windows search and Superfetch both turned off and it still sits there grinding. I've never had a Win7 box do that yet.

Mine has been off since March due to job changes, moving, etc but I think I'll probably have it running again in a couple weeks.

I've got mine crunching for the challenge. After that I'm looking at using them as part of a small rendering farm. The 32bit restriction is a complication, but not insurmountable.
