I recall having a colleague with an AMD processor who told me that ME 
was pretty stable for him. He was definitely the exception, not the 
rule. As for Vista, I already mentioned that I was a beta-tester and 
that the product was nowhere near good when the company decided to 
release it to manufacturers. The final version was okay, but it was 
shockingly slow when doing simple things like using the file explorer. 
As for 8, it was definitely counter-intuitive. However, once you figured 
out that going to the bottom-left corner rather than pressing on Start 
got you the same result, it became fairly bearable. Still, I don't blame 
anyone for sticking to 7.
