Vista is good to me.
was skeptical at the begging before actually using it. was annoyed by all confirms it asks before doing anything, almost went back to XP, gave a day or two to figure the OS out, shut those confirms, now it doesn't bug me at all, runs like a charm.
in XP i like classic mode, so I check "adjust for best performance" in computer's advanced prefs, it kills all fancy XP stuff, 3d like cheap looking plastic toolbars which I can't stand. I've tried doing same on wide-screen laptop with vista on it, not that I don't like aero look, I just prefer classic look, well it didn't do too well, fonts weren't rendering quiet well i had to go with option "let the windows decide....". There are few options left that I still have to check to be able use classic mode and fonts showing good though, haven't had time to do it yet. Other than that I'm happy camper with Vista.
I also remember being quiet comfortable using XP when its just came out into beta, had no real issues with that although SP1 made things smoother back then. I know I haven't had been hit with problems like many of you have been as I don't use lot of specialty/proprietary software (even at this day and age some specialty software made run on dos) nor I play games.
