Vista and stability

Why do I do it, Microsoft release a new operating system and I have to install it, it madness.
How easily I've forgotten the issues I had adopting Windows XP early. So now I have to pay the price, suffering with bugs, glitches and unsupported drivers, I do wonder if it's worth it. I've had 3 bsod's with vista business, today it just went utterly mental, deciding to display every single process(I assume) as a window, one minute I'm happy as Larry, then next BANG, the screen flickers, and a 100 odd windows open all over the place, just look at the task bar. If things don't settle down I'll be going back to Windows XP. Lets prey I've learnt a lesson for next time MS release a new OS.
