OK, that forced me to go read it.

My comments on Vista (I have been running it for 6 months)
1. It will not be pretty on 2 or 3 yo PCs. You'd be better off buying a
new PC with Vista installed.
2. It is annoying. If you thought XP was a step backwards in UI design,
Vista is 20 steps backwards in UI design.
You cannot find anything you are familiar with. You cannot modify zillions
of files that you used to have access to.
You cannot keep data in the same directory as the program, which is what I
always do, so that it is simple to transfer the stuff to a new system
The start menu is totally changed. You can't find anything on it.
The "always searching" stuff slows everything down a lot.
3. I run XP at home. I may never upgrade unless I find something I
absolutely need.
I won't upgrade at work until I am forced to.
I am thinking a MacPro will NOT be able to run Vista.
