Personally I'm not too sure, doesn't seem a great leap forward to me, but it's early days.
I'm glad I bought it, but a bit disappointed that driver-wise and a few other things it really wasn't "ready" as XP was. A very slow start....I'm really surprised at MS that they didn't plan better.
I think it is a great leap forward, it's just that the improvements are in many areas where they aren't immediately obvious. Security has been the main development focus, and if Vista proves significantly harder for malware to infect, then that alone will be worthwhile. And search has improved beyond all recognition.
To an extent MS are constantly hoist by their own petard when it comes to new OS's - if they keep the look and feel of the UI reasonably similar to what has gone before, which helps folks who are already familiar with Windows, then everyone thinks that nothing much has changed. Personally I have no desire to go back to XP at all, I'm finding that I love Vista a bit more every day.
It'll probably be the same for me in the end, once the anger of paying twice the US rate wears off :mad: :mad:Quote:

Yep, changed my mind, I'm glad I bought it now.
Still angry at the amount I paid though.
hI, I have vista installed also. Not the WOW that they are advertizing but good. Had a problem with the sound card because the xp drivers were several years old and the card is no longer being sold. Put in a new sound card from Turtle Beach and after some ninor adjustments, the computer finally found it and a new DVD drive at the same time and now everything is good. Lets see what it like in 2 months. If still good then I will use ghost to copy "c" partition to the backup partition, just in case. Right now the backup is the XP that I upgraded.
No WOW though.
cheers mac
