Buggy and might be so for some time before all the kinks are worked out and the vendors catch up with the right drivers. There is probably not much you can do about that. I still have Vista Beta on one of my HDD's to use for testing only. Maybe in about two years I may switch over but in the meantime XP is still my choice.
I for the last month have been using my laptop running Vista home premium on my monitor anyway when i play games on my laptop i disable aero to achieve better frame rates but after quiting out of my game i no longer had the aero option it has been like this for the last 4 days then i got the game F.E.A.R. and i play it then every time i do i get the blue screen of death so I went on the intel website and updated my drivers for the integrated 945 graphics accelerator when i restarted my computer everything was flashy it would flash black and i had alot of visual artifacts so i decided to unplug my monitor did not help then i went into the appearance changer thingy and low and behold i had the aero option so i selected it and the flashing and artifacts went away i was amazed so i then plugged in my monitor and no longer had the aero feature no matter what extended or just my monitor and i got all the visual artifacts again plz i need help sorry bout the grammar i just don't really care bout it.
Laptop is a Lenovo 3000 N100 with 2 gigs of ram
