I was thinking about asking some friends over to play with my wii, but decided against it. Might be taken the wrong way.

It broke my pc, well nvida and their laughable drivers did. One problem i did have with it though, my pc for some reason fails to load the keyboard driver first go, no idea why just need to pop into device manager > remove it > scan for changes and away you go, thought it was a software problem but when i did a fresh install of vista (big mistake, wanted to get rid of keyboard problem though) had the same problem, well say same problem worked great after a switching it on reboot and keyboard is gone completely and no way to get it back had to shut down and turn on and bingo there it was, reboot and it had gone. So as long as i didnt have to restart it fixed the problem. Will have another crack at getting it to go next week when i can get my hands on a dvd again, but got it on laptop and apart from Nvida and their laughable drivers (or lack of) it works grand

Didn't have any issues with my nVidia 7900GTX. The drivers that shipped with vista didn't have 3D acceleration, but downloading the official vista drivers from nVidia.com sorted that. MSN Live Messenger crashed on startup on Vista, turned out to be a Flash problem (had to download the Flash 9 beta to fix it). Also had to upgrade to a beta version of the Logitech webcam drivers to get my webcam working - and the latest release of Daemontools (4.08 or something, 4.06 barfed on Vista).

Now everything seems to work just dandy, or at least not any worse than it did on XP. Bit surprising really.
