I didn't upgrade. Vista came installed on a new laptop I bought recently.
As a beta tester for Microsoft, I slowly became used to Vista during the
beta testing phase, and now prefer it over XP. There isn't one blockbuster
feature that sold me, just dozens of little things. Like when you go to rename
a file, Vista doesn't highlight the file's extension because most of the time
you don't want to change the extension. There are dozens of little nuggets
like that.
From what I'm told, Vista has a much better security posture than XP, so
it should be better at resisting malware attacks.
That said, I would not go out of my way to upgrade an XP PC to Vista.
In order for Vista to fly it really needs modern hardware like Core 2 Duo
processors.

What were the features that Vista has over XP that made it worth the money
for you to upgrade?
