I think that its inevitable that Vista will:
-be hacked soon enough
-have to be patched somehow
-have horrible issues
-etc. etc.
Plus, someone has already posted up video showing Mac OS X can do what Vista can, just that mac has done it for a few years now.
I don't mean to be a cynic or anything of that degree, I just think its time to abandon the Windows bandwagon and move on. I mean, I'm running Ubuntu Linux right now with an aero style interface (courtesy GNOME art), and its able to do EVERYTHING that windows did for me when I ran Windows XP professional. Now sure you will need windows for CAD and Inventor and other goodies, yet at the same time I think Linux has some equivalents that are worth looking into (prolly this: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/inventor/). Some minor limitations aside, which I have faith will be eliminated soon enough, I think windows users can migrate to ubuntu linux or mac safely now.

Please, do not make any comparison between different OS. Everyone has there own preference as to which solution is best for them.
One thing I am still disappointed about vista is that it has 6 different versions. This causes lots of customer confusion for people who not technically savvy. Even right now, some people ask me what version they should order. What’s even worse is that I have heard that retailers will be trying to push the most expensive versions of vista (namely the extreme edition) because they have higher margins then the rest. I believe that this is somewhat wrong, especially when a consumer only needs basic functionality.
