ANd yes, ctrl+alt+delete does go to a window that allows you to switch users/log out and all that, but that window's priority level is above that of explorer.exe and has a well labeled button right there on it to launch the task manager. Though as you said that is useless since you can't get that far.
And as a note, if it doesn't work while testing either stick, you could be one of those horribly rare annomalys that somehow screwed up both sticks. It happens, my cousin managed it...
And people have hated every Microsoft OS when it has come out, and a lot of people say that the new ones are bloated, but that goes all the way back to MSDOS, which people complained about being bloated. But because of that they have been forced to make better and faster computers to carry the load without too much of an issue which made them decide to make a newer and better OS. It's a lovely cycle that pretty much just means better games, better graphics and faster computers. Give it another year and things should smooth out, though that s forever away and i want it all smoothed out now...

I haven't hated every Microsoft OS...I hated Windows 95, but liked 98...98 was what 95 should have been. I hated 2000, but loved XP...still love XP. I also really loved 3.01 back in the day...and MS-DOS is still the best operating system in the world in my opinion ;P
I hate Vista for two reasons. One is the uneconomical drain on system resources, but even bigger than that are all the reasons running behind it...Vista wasn't really designed for the consumers so much as for software and media companies...it's chock full of all kinds of background devices and controls that, in my opinion, violate personal privacy...here's an article if you want more info.
