Windows Vista (And what I hate about)

My laptop:
Windows Vista: Home Basic SP2
About 3 maybe 4 months old
Problems: Slowness, crashes/hangs a lot of things.
No death screens yet
Crashes: WMP11, Firefox, My files, Windows Explorer (desktop/tool bar), fails to update Microsoft Office.
I don't know why Microsoft puts Windows Media Player on Vista, when it's not fully compatible, with it. My last Vista laptop was Home Premium, that was missing that old MPEG-1 Codec (this one has it, bizarre isn't it?), but when I tried to download WMP11 to replace/fix the damaged files it wouldn't because there is no WMP 11 version for Windows Vista. I don't know what the hell is with Vista, it has a habit of making Firefox hang to a point it has to be closed by the Problem Reports and Solutions programe. IE 8 runs slow (on all systems, even my parents' PC), it makes my files crash (Not Responding), for like a few seconds maybe minutes before the Problem Reports and Solutions has to close it down. I can't downgrade to Windows XP, because everything will be lost. I got, shit load of songs, a few movies, my files all my stuff in it, my pictures, stories (that I make), sprites, my games, links. There's too much stuff to be lost because Windows Vista sucks, and I'm not downloading/buying Windows 7, I wouldn't touch that with a 10ft pole. There's been many reports about black screens of death. I'll try and find a news article about it, on Google News. What do you guys think Microsoft should do? I say they should stop bring out more Windows Systems, to mask over the other problems their other systems have, because they won't do a damn thing about it, so they'll make Vista, which has a few bugs - making things hang/crash, "failing" updates, (It's ALWAYS Error 646, with Office updates, and I've done all that like Gary's said, and it still does not work), making Vista a bit more faster, but instead they build other systems that mask over Vista's problems which becomes Windows 7 until they get black screens of death, which are no doubt the same ones I get when my computer runs Guild Wars. If others got problems with Vista, feel free to post, I only made this topic to seek some help, to what's with my Vista maybe a bit of help with my computer without anything about "downloading" Windows 7 (I don't want Windows 7, I get enough problems with Vista, and downgrading to XP without any risk of losing what's left of my stuff), and to find out why it keeps loading pop-ups.
