No, I've avoided Vista successfully so far. Using XP as an office 
standard and Win2K otherwise.

The networking freeze issue that I see can be demonstrated easily 
when I have a drive mapped to an IFS directory. I don't mind that 
IFS-mapped-drives are significantly slower; what I mind is that the 
slowdown (the freeze) happens merely by passing my mouse pointer 
over such a drive when dragging.

If I actually dropped the object there, I wouldn't be irritated. But 
I want to drop it on a drive above it or below it in the Explorer 
tree. I shouldn't see a freeze just because I 'accidentally' brushed 
a pixel in the wrong name.

Regardless, I'm slowly working my way to Linux anyway.
