Try it out and let us know. If it is any good I might consider doing it, as I too dislike Vista.... Well I at least hate my mobo which is all I have had since Vista. So I really can't say.

I have Vista on my laptop and I have had zero problems for almost a year now, and I just upgraded to SP1. Granted I don't use it as much, but I have run some pretty heavy programs on it without any problems.

I didn't have too many problems, but my games suffered between 15-20 fps drop in Vista.

I have Vista on my laptop and on my machine at work and it runs fine on both of them.
Compared to XP the transfer times are a lot slower, but the stability is there. I would use Vista on my main machine at home too if the gaming performance was on par with XP. As of right now, most all games suffer a decrease in performance when played under Vista, unfortunately.
