1) Viruses, Malware, Drive by Downloads and problems the sprout forth between the brain and the finger tips.
2) Hardware that is really not compatible even though it says it is, and the software drives they use.
3) Other software that is installed (not OS) can cause problems as well.
I suppose any of those things may be true, but even so, I use the Vista machine essentially the same way, and with the same peripherals, as the old desktop, and it simply works. On many occasions, the same could not be said of the XP machine. Right or wrong, XP just left a bad impression on me.
