Vista has arrived, after delays and a long gap from windows XP to this. What have most people got to say about it, that it's an improvement, that about sums it up, no great OS revolution, but plenty of potential problems.
Already some people have found potential flaws with the program, that given the right circumstances your computer could actually delete files or folders without your consent or knowledge. However, perhaps even more worrying than that is this little phrase in the t&c/licence agreement...
"this agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights".
Simply put, this means that you will have limited control over your computer, whilst MS will be able to do pretty much as they please with YOUR system, even going so far as to remove programs that aren't properly licensed/registered. The full story of this can be read here.
Lastly, after 2011, MS will no longer offer support for XP, which means you'll either have to upgrade to Vista, or run XP with all of it's flaws and security holes. Of course you could always do the more sensible thing, and ditch Windows completely and join the growing community of Linux users.

C'mon man, Vista is the perfect opportunity to see if your OS can hog all 2 gigs of RAM at once. Like a big benchmark test. "Hey I opened my email last night, my machine is totally bitching man!"
