Problems with Vista?

I run Windows Vista on every machine I have, at work, at home, everywhere, and I have since day one.  I have my share of complaints, but one thing I've never seen on Vista is a bluescreen.  So although I was sympathetic when Alec Saunders finally had enough of Microsoft software, I was skeptical of people who thought his problems would go away if he just switched to Macintosh.  Still, he's a smart guy, with as much experience on Windows as anybody, so why was he running into so many problems?

Well, it turns out he was using faulty memory.  Now that he's swapped RAM, his machines are humming along happily.
