I've had Zero driver problems. Zero graphic crashes, Zero 64-bit driver problems. I don't use obsolete IDE ports so I've had Zero problems with that.

As far as Resource hog - lol..... That's like saying Crysis will suck because it required a more powerful graphics card. Get over it. If new software didn't require more advanced hardware, there'd be no point in buying awesome PC components. I'm still not convinced. I've had less problems with vista than i did with XP.
Using Windows 7 In 2024.
