I've been using Vista for over a month now, and I've not had one unsolvable issue. The issues that home users have with vista is that they're too stupid to own a computer. I mean EVERY issue I've had has been with a driver. Well guess what? I went to the website of the company than made whatever didn't work right, and right there on they're home page at the top is a big "CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST VISTA DRIVER". DO NOT upgrade, buy a full version and install it fresh and you won't have an issue. Also stay away from the "basic" edition. Go for either Home premium or ultimate. The other editions ARE crap.
