"...we all know..."
"Everyone is clamoring..."
Really?
You speak for everyone?
No, you don't so do not presume that you do.
You have an extremely narrow view if you believe all you wrote.

Some share your opinion but many do not.
Windows Vista works fine on two of my computers and "mediocre" does
not apply.
Your presumption to know how Windows Vista performs in all situations
shows your narrow point of view.

Read the OPs post, perhaps for the first time.
You will see that it is probable it is a possible hardware issue or
possibly bad installation from the factory.
In either case, no operating system from any source is immune from
such issues.
