Having today having had my first encounter with Vista, and I agree that it
is very irritating. (Then again, there seems to be a whole lot of
irritating fluff in Vista. I want to computer to run SQL Server on, I
don't want this "My Music" etc.)

No, I never came as far installing SQL Server. About every second time
I reboot, the machine powers off while Vista is starting. I will probably
change to a different motherboard.
