I played with an RTM release of Vista back in November (shhhhhh!) and I liked it. Quite a few apps I had didn't work with Vista (but have since had patches released to make them work).
I found it was quicker in some things (loading apps, etc) but was slower doing some of the more mundane things.
I liked the aero interface, though the security could be less in your face.
In the end I went back to XP as my PC was on the lowest fringes of what could run Vista nicely (AMD Athlon XP2000+, 1.5Gb RAM, etc etc)

I had to laugh when all of the free to air tv stations showed all the clowns lining up at midnight to buy Vista.
Most of them reported something along the lines of:
"Geeks and technophiles spent hours in line ups last night, waiting for various computer stores around the country to open at midnight so they could get their hands on the latest offering from Microsoft."
What a joke. The true geeks and technophiles had already downloaded the latest release, installed Vista, realised it runs like shit and reinsalled Linux.

Whaddya mean reinstalled Linux? The REAL geeks would have dualbooted or run Vista in a VM.
And you call yourself a geek

No, the real geeks would have installed it on their 3rd PC, which they use soley for trying out "experimental Microsoft software". They wouldnt be installing it on the same system that they run Linux on, just in case MS has installed some demonic Linux eating virus.
And I've never called myself a geek. Only the girls in high school called me that.

Why would anyone want Vista anyway? Get a Mac.
