I really like Vista.
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.
> 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.
Just curious, since we use Linux-hosted Samba shares also -- what minor problems did you run into and solve?
> 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!!!
I take it you don't log out the main user. Which mechanism do you use? Fast-switch or RunAs? or something else?
Ha, I'm not easily swayed. I have more or less intimate familiarity w/ all the popular modern OS's, short of the modern Mac (and even there I am a NeXT afficianado), and several esoteric ones.

I take it you don't log out the main user. Which mechanism do you use? Fast-switch or RunAs? or something else?
Right. There's a "Switch User" on the start menu, hidden behing a little right-arrow on my desktop. I'm thinking hard here, and I don't know of any other OS that does this. Does OS X?
