I haven't had any major problems with Vista 64. Although it wouldn't let me upgrade from XP x64, it's still much more stable and better supported than XP x64 ever was.

Oh, wait, I have had one major problem. I couldn't get any flash drives or external hard drives to work for a couple of weeks. Eventually I googled, and apparently there's a corrupted driver file or something that I deleted and poof, everything worked properly.

All that UAC crap is still really annoying though, especially how it likes to blink the entire monitor when asking for a confirmation.


I turned UAC off for home use, but it's absolutely a requirement for office use on a domain. I'm not sure if I can deal with it and stay sane.

The only problems I've had with Vista 64 is a BSOD when I recover from sleep mode 1 time in 10 due to a BIOS problem (Microsoft says it's their fault). Upgrading it will fix that when I get around to it. The other issue was one of my shitty games (Rise and Fall) had disk protection horseshit that used an unsigned driver. Vista 64 absolutely WILL NOT allow unsigned drivers (but Vista 32 will). I rebooted and it told me to go fuck myself. Seriously. I had to recover using the Vista install disk, which basically put me back to the previous restore point. Getting the new version of that driver fixed that.
