I installed vista for the first time it booted and started installation, it says NFTS partition required i convert my partition to NFTS. Software loaded but then starts the compatibility issue. It did not accept my creative soundcard. I installed NERO 7 it crashed and showed compatibility issues. Now microsoft said it built the software from ground level then why isnt a backward compatibility for softwares maintained as in XP.My first impression of vista is only graphical bells and whistles. Regarding the software front a compatibility with all softwares installing on this new OS.Its gonna be hard to play with vista, i still prefer XP right now and the worst of all to restore the NTFS partition to 32bit required me to reformat my hdd and install xp all over again.

I can't change compatibility options for iTunes, the tab is altogether missing, totally messing up iTunes.
