God, I hate that term.
I'm going to guess that this thread is full of Microsoft bashing, so I'll throw in my obligatory
I really like Vista.
All my various development tools work like a charm. I have no problem w/ UAC. The user interface is great. Every minor problem I've had (eg. connecting to Samba shares on Linux servers) was fairly easily remedied.
To top it all off, when I need to switch to the local adminstrator account, whatever is playing on the audio of my main user continues to play while logged in as the local admin. Brilliant!!!

Yep. More power to ya. I wouldn't presume to talk you out of it if it's working for you -- I have a few users who like it. You're not alone.

Just curious, since we use Linux-hosted Samba shares also -- what minor problems did you run into and solve?

I take it you don't log out the main user. Which mechanism do you use? Fast-switch or RunAs? or something else?
