No. I had vista for over a month and my soundcard worked almost as well as in xp except for a few bugs. I have since reverted back to XP with the vista transformation pack because I do like the black look.

BennyV......vista surely is not better than XP. There really is not a defining feature of vista that I used that was little more than a slight perk. Driver support right now is pathetic, not really microsoft's fault (except with the x-fi). One thing that IS microsoft's fault is the BSOD. My computer kept crashing, at least twice a day, and I could not find a solution so I said fk it. Also I couldn't do any of the things I REALLY wanted to do in vista. 1)OC my computer (my computer refuses to OC from the BIOS, so I require gigabyte's overclocking utility) and 2) OC my graphics card.

Nothing about vista really screams "OMG AWESOME" and I have no idea why they spent so much money in to creating a new OS instead of just a SP3 for XP.
