Totally off comment but what do you find the major difference between Vista and XP?
The Interface is nice too, once you get familiar with it. The auto update features for programs works good, and the built in voice command stuff is great with a blue tooth headset.
I could go on, but I have had it since it was introduced, and other than the misunderstanding with the RAM needed to run all these services, I have not had any major issues except those where some applications were slow to rewrite their drivers, and some made mistakes in the first updates. I was never able to say it was the fault of VISTA. What it was, is more like MS hatred in the industry when they blamed VISTA for the crime of allowing their product to run on it. I found Norton to be one of the worst, with JAVA and all Sun products second, and there were many more, but most of that fight is all in the past now.
