Ok first off those aren't Vista problems. Come on, "computer loses power during OS installation"?!?!? Those are more or less generic problems that could occur with the installation of any new OS. Microsoft provides a troubleshooting guide to cover any possible error that could happen. I'm sure Mac has a troubleshooting guide as well. Just because they have a troubleshooting guide doesn't mean that it should deter you from using the product. The guide is there to help.
Having said this, don't upgrade to Vista on your current PC. What's the point? Wait until a service pack comes out, driver support is updated, and Direct X10 is commonplace. Until then, its pointless to shell out hundreds of dollars for a few bells and whistles, more security, and a new interface.
However, if you are buying a new PC, Vista is fantastic. I've bought two separate PCs, one runs Vista Home Premium and one runs Vista Ultimate. Its great, things run smooth, its very user-friendly and has many more features not found in XP. No problems whatsoever, except I had to get online to update a printer driver (<5 minutes to download on DSL). If you get a new computer, I strongly recommend getting 2GB of RAM, and Vista will treat you well.
I am tired of all of these Mac-fanboys that bash Vista without even using it. And playing with it for 5 minutes in bestbuy doesn't count either. Vista is infinitely more secure than XP. Security was a priority for Microsoft this time, and it shows. Don't bash it just because it has a different name than OX-10.
What really makes me laugh are all of these people who preach Mac like its the best thing in the world. Then they partition their hard drive and install XP so they can play their favorite PC games, or use PC-only programs. You spent all that extra money buying a Mac (good luck finding a decent desktop under 2,000 unless its got a crap processor or little memory and a small HD), just to give in and install Windows. Congratulations, idiots.
