Yeah, I'm running XP Media Center Edition, and I couldn't be happier with it, except for a tiny lack of support for a few DOS games - the DOS version of Doom doesn't run right even on the fastest computers; it slows down when sounds are played - which gameplay issues are solvable by running them in a virtual machine with DOS 6.22, or, what-have-you. But, yeah, in my case, XP Media Center Edition - which is basically an upgrade of Pro, but with better support for 16-bit programs than Pro - I haven't had too many problems with yet! I've hardly EVER had a crash, even with the dreaded Intel Celeron *choke* processors! (Of course, I've applied some tweaks, too, but it's not like I'm really good at it, like landbeforetimelover probably is; I'm just running a few tweak programs, and, for web usage, I patch up all the security holes I know about...)
Unfortunately, I doubt Vienna will work better than Vista. I don't recommend Vista to ANYONE that likes their PCs! And, DirectX 10 will no longer be a problem soon...
