Almost two years i bought a new laptop and it come with Vista pre-installed but after less than an hour i decided to put Gentoo on it instead. It's been running Gentoo up until last week when i put Vista back on. I did this as i was interested in trying the Speech Recognition that is built in, speech recognition on Linux is lacking. The speech recognition worked reasonably well although i only used it for a single day, i've since been working on a new application. Of course the biggest issue with Vista was the UAC dialog popping up every few minutes. Disabling it helps but i now have a big red X in my system tray that complains about UAC every boot. It's also quite resource intensive but disabling a few unnecessary services helps. So far i'm reasonably impressed at least more so than my first experience with it, especially when my laptop only has 512Mb of RAM (an extra 1Gb is on the way). Whilst i miss Gentoo being on the laptop i think i'll keep Vista for the time being, i can dual-boot with Gentoo later. Now i wonder if i should try the x64 version on my gaming machine, decisions decisions...
