Vista Reliability Monitor

A few days ago I remembered Paul Thurrott mentioning the Vista Reliability and Performance monitor and since I had purchased a new laptop a month earlier, I was curious to see how things we're holding up.

The result in the image above is mainly a downhill graph, starting at 10 out of ten and dropped to as low as 1.82 on October 7th. Vista's running on a new Dell XPS M1710, so it's pretty astonishing. As of late, the graph has gone up again and is currently at 5.5.
