My vista machine runs fine now, after months of problems (I bought my machine with vista installed right after the release). It acted up again after SP1 but it was easy to roll back to before the SP1 update, and turn off future updates. The IT guy at work told me my problems were likely due to the Nvidia chipset/drivers. :shrug:

I think I was lucky, there was a new nvidia driver release jyst after I setup my machine.
I dislike vista more for what it could have been and fell short of being than what it is. I do love how malleable I've discovered it to be, though.
