Well I decided to fire up PowerISO and mount a few ISO images. After installing PowerISO, and rebooting, the Vista Sidebar started crashing on boot. I can no longer get it to work. I did also change my drive letter for one of my drives, maybe the photo slideshow (which used that drive) is causing the whole sidebar to crash. If so, well, chalk another one up for MS programmers.

I mounted one of my favorite apps in anticipation of installing it. Wait for it - BSOD! As soon as I mounted the image Vista dumped. That was about the end of it for me, I’ve had enough. I enjoy it’s interface, it’s prettier than XP, but I just don’t have any more patience for fixing it’s problems. My Vista conclusion is as follows: f*ck Vista and anything resembling it.
