I have a clean install of Vista Ultimate. The only problem I have had with Flex
Builder is that I get dumped into Windows Vista Basic Color Scheme when I
launch any designer pages. Since the Aero look is pretty much the only neat
thing I have found with Vista, it does make the upgrade somewhat worthless
(unless you care about UAC - which i promptly turned off).
Additionally, I am experiencing memory parity bluescreens with Vista
occasionally. This is probably related to some additional RAM I added prior to
the install, but it has been a looong time since I had a PC bluescreen.

Hi Bryan,
I'm not sure if this will help me, but I would be interested to see
the Eclipse log file. The log is <workspacedir> \.metadata\ .log.
