With that said - I will admit - thank the powers that be for DosBox!!!!!

I always wanted a Turtle beach card but could never afford it.
On the subject at hand, Vista has some issue but most were drivers, they are fixing other bugs now and then and will continue to as time goes on. It reminds me when win2k came out. It was the next platform from NT and gawd did it have issues, but 6 Service Packs later and they fixed it. Coming out with XP they created more issue but fixed it with 3 service packs. As far as Vista being bloatware, you can turn off the fancy stuff if you like, but it was designed for a more robust system.
