Windows Vista RTM

I've been running the final version of Windows Vista for almost a month. It is very nice, and a much-needed improvement over Windows XP. It does require good hardware to run smoothly. The sweet spot for ram for Vista seems to be about 2 gigabytes. A DirectX 9.0 card is also a must. Just about any modern processor except the Celeron will work fine for Vista, though I would recommend dual-core. It seems to be as stable as or more stable than XP. I have been up and running for 10 days and 12 hours as I type this. Some software doesn't work with Vista yet, but vendors are working on that, and most stuff should work by the time it's released to consumers in January.
