It wasn't FUD for me. I bought a computer for my wife, with no special whiz-bangs on it; she does quickbooks, and IE, and that's about it. It had OEM Vista on it. It was the least stable windows box I've ever had to manage, and that's been a few. It wasn't particularly quick, but that wasn't a huge issue for me since it was a bare bones box, and I didn't expect it to be, but keeping it going for a whole week was difficult.
