I installed it on my wife's old GE MixMaster and the blade spin like crazy.

My wife's KitchenAid needs a dough hook upgrade before it'll run Glass.

Your post makes little sense to me.
I do not connect my computer to any TV and do not have a 40" TV new or
otherwise.
My desktop with old video card has Aero, but not my 2+ year old laptop.
But both run Vista fine.

Your answer also was of little value to me.
You appear to be unaware of the "Complete Vista Experience"
Please review

Many people will use Vista to watch and listen to video/audio content - mediacenter
is now an integrated part.

You have a valid point, also non-corporate customers are currently using
Vista RTM.
But Vista's hardware and elaborate driver requirements make it a OS to be
aquired
with Vista certfied and tested new hardware.
This message is being sent from Vista Ultimate RTM on a system that is
almost 5 years old in a dual boot with XP. Nothing new or Vista certified
for the hardware on this system. The video card does not have a WDDM
driver, but otherwise everything else works fine.

It was very clear to me...
About any recent pc can run Vista, but the poster is trying to point out a
mayor issue:
if you want the "whole new experience, as hyped on TV" you will have to
invest heavily:
a classic laptop does not come with 1 GB of RAM, nor a videocard supporting
3D Aero,
nor the ability to play HD-DVD's, so why bother with Vista basic?
XP is running stable and without issues here.
And like the previous poster said, this 'full Vista experience'
means spending lots of cash on new hardware, especially if you want to watch
HD-DVD's
BTW: my 2004 scanner, printer, and about 10 software programs cannot be used
at all with vista:
- no hardware drivers
- programs incompatible or presenting "issues"
(source: Vista Upgrade advisor)
I so no compelling reason to upgrade from XP: I never had any security
issues with XP-SP2

There has been no significant release of Windows since the beginning for
which every single pre-existing hardware device had drivers available on day
one. Manufacturers will develop the drivers for their current products
first and older products second. Many of the products you have problems
with may well have drivers and patches over the next few months.
If you are the type who wants the latest and greatest technology in your OS,
then why wouldn't you want the latest and greatest in your hardware to
match? That seems to me to be an illogical expectation.
Finally, I wish Microsoft had totally disregarded compatibility with
anything pre-Vista and given us an operating system that was not hamstrung
at all by compatibility issues and, instead, took full advantage of the very
latest state-of-the-art hardware.

Maybe not in the past, but look at the new laptops sold now. Even the
cheapest laptop Dell sells is Vista ready. Even Dell's cheapest desktop
selling for $359 is Vista ready and Vista preloaded. This isn't cutting
edge stuff. This isn't a new thing. Even older computers are Vista ready -
but the best experience is on a modern computer.

I agree. At most, any decent PC built new in the last few years would need
more RAM - perhaps $100 or so.
Users who aren't willing to pay for the latest don't really want the latest.
That is about like me getting pissed that my old CRT 27 incher won't play
HDTV.
