I've noticed my new Vista pc is locking up during game and media play. Hell, its a media center pc.
My xp media center pc was much more stable. I'm looking for performance tweeks. I have to turn my game graphics and sound waaay down to play them. Movies lock up and then try to catchup when they resume.

You may be a different kind of power user, Chris. You use powerful software, and you may not care to change defaults, but when you start to look past the surface of Vista - you’ll quickly see its cracks. Vista isn’t horrible - but it really needs an SP1 before I could recommend it for everyone. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/05/29/vista-vs-xp/"><div align="center"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N2TBVZ0wGn0" height="329" width="400" wmode="opaque" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/05/29/vista-vs-xp/"><UL class="related">
