I had to face a lot of issues as others did. The issue that irritated me the most is the access related confirmation message that often popped up when I had to start any software installation or run some applications like Daemon Tools etc. Vista is slow in starting up, often shows up some unwanted permission related messages when one tries to write/modify anything inside the directories like Progam Files/Windows. The Dreamscene component that runs a video as a desktop background often works for few minutes before generating errors.

So, in next few posts, I'll try to put my views on such problems.
