ive had troubles with the time zones the first few weeks.
when i set the timezone and time, country etc.
it kept changeing the time, then there was a small patch
for something entirely different, but it fixed my clock..
cheers.
So the clock have been running smoothly but not lag free,
for the last few months.

Excaly it's not vista which is keeping the time. But the motherboard. So try
updating your mb drivers.
Vista is reading the current time during boot from the mb. It might also be
the speed of your cpu which is wrong. Set to low and the time is behind, set
to high and the time is ahead.

I looked that #vista for all 2 days then I bin the whole lot and return back
to my XP Pro SP2.
with IE6, and some basic admin tools.
all I can say is Vistra is C**P and it needs to go ack to mircosoft to be
debug, and if they can't do this, then they should stop releasing Software
will Bugs.

User Account Control is mostly annoying because so many applications have
assumed they have full run of the box and will break if they run without the
ability to hose your entire system due to any random bug. You will obviously
be getting a lot of prompting as you install your new software, but it does
scale back pretty quickly.
It will take a while for the tens of thousands Windows software developers
to get over some long-standing bad habits, and really the only way they will
ever do it is if they get a lot of complaints from users. MS has been
telling developers to get ready for Windows Vista's new UAC for 7 years, so
it isn't for lack of information or warning. The world of the Internet with
respect to security is not the same today as it was in 2001 when Windows XP
was released. Windows XP SP 2 helped, but it still has some fundamental
limitations on the level of security it can provide unless you live with the
even more painful world of Limited User Accounts without UAC's ability to
elevate within the same session.
There are also user habits that tend to result in a lot of prompting.
Insisting that you create all your shortcut or documents for all-users all
the time instead of using per-user areas for example. This falls into the
category of "Doc, it hurts when I do this.", "Then don't do that." It is
often convenient to use a command-line prompt elevated to "Run As
Administrator" to spawn all your various setup stuff to avoid prompting
during that initial setup phase, and then from there you shouldn't really
need to elevate often or use this admin command-line prompt.
That said, you could always turn off User Account Control and run as admin
all the time if it really annoys you so much. Of course, if you suffer
identity theft or your box become a spam bot, keep in mind that you
purposely turned off key security features. Still, the option is there and
easy to find if it really is impossible for you to adapt or move to more
modern software applications.

Have had new Vista computer about 3 weeks now. I think it's Great! Bumped
up the memory to 3gb's, and added an Bfg Geforce video card. Perty awesome
actually. Have had a few minor problems, but what does'nt skip a beat every
now and them. Battlefield 2 runs flawless. Have no complaints.
