I'm running Vista SP1 on my laptop and have never had trouble with flashing ROMs on my phone with it. It works just as good as my gf's laptop with XP.

About the Vista bashing, I used to bash it too. I was in the beta program and started with the 64 bit Vista, which was a bit frustrating because there were no drivers for any of the things I really needed. I switched to the 32 bit and it was ok, but after the official release (with SP1) came out, I have not had one single gripe about Vista at all. I actually like it a lot better than XP.

The same thing happened when XP came out. Everyone bashed it, now they swear by it. People will swear by Vista when the next OS comes out from MS. lol
