Vista - What Problems Are There?

Options
Hi
Just got my new PC with vista - after spending 12 hours :mad: setting it up! Took me ages to get the Belkin Data Transfer cable to transfer the right information to the right place (6 attempts!!!!!!!:eek: )
Any way, its up and running now - but are there any problems that I should be aware of?
I know there will be some teething problems, but I just wondered if anyone ahd come across anything in particluar.
Haven't downloaded the driver for my printer yet - hope that will be fairly trouble free. (Its an Epson Aculaser C900)

I'm loving what Ive seen of it so far - lots of lovely gadgety extras than Xp - so far so good.
Any comments would be appreciated.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    i like it too. the only problem i have found so far is the unavailabilty (or limited availabilty) of firewall/antivirus. i am currently on the 90 day free trial of microsofts live one care until everyone else sorts themselves out. but apart from that it is running fine on my 6yr old pc.

    Thanks Matty

    I bought Norton Anti Virus as part of the deal - it took an hour to install, but found over 1000 issues with my brand new PC. It was on soemthing I bought over but it wasnt picked up by the anti virus I had on my old pc.
