I installed Vista a while back, on this same machine - and HATED it. Sluggish, errors, blah, and more blah. I was not impressed. And that was with all the eye candy completely disabled. XP was re-installed in a few days.
Since SP1 came out, and SP1 for Office was already released, I decided I would give the whole package another go. WOW - Fast as heck, and I love the features. Even Outlook is MUCH better now - although, that's probably attributed to that performance hotfix as well. Earlier I tried Outlook 2007 on a bunch of machines, XP and Vista, and it was so damn slow. Not anymore. Now, just don't get me started on how messed up the whole CSS and Tables things... My newsletters look like crap! It took me a lot of courage, but I even left the eye candy (Aero) on for s & giggles to see if my machine could handle it. It's doing quite well. I disabled the stupid effect that it does when you Minimize/Maximize windows, but that's it. Now, I am transferring my old XP install in a VMware image so I can boot it in VMware player. Why, because it's already been a week and I HATE it when I have to unboot Vista to boot XP!

I am having to say, I have been using my Vista laptop all day, which is an older IBM T42 that I use on the road and Vista killed it before, now with SP1 it runs like a champ(all the fluff turned off). No problems with working remote, VPN's are quick and speedy, transfers of data work well. Overall I am coming to dare I say, even Respect Vista. I have not played with the printers yet, but by the June I would expect most of the printers to be supported or documented that we have to replace. They even changed the default method of connecting to RDP, oh I hated the previous way. Now if we can just get GP and Active Directory tools I may switch over for the duration and run XP on a Virtual for my older apps. From: Michael B.

Dave, I had the same experience yesterday. It would show that my account was TechNet Plus, but no option to download. I finally got a page with the download on approximately my 6th trip to the MSDN downloads page. VERY strange, but after that, the download was quick and the install simple and straight forward. No real differences that I can see today after running SP1 for a little over 24 hours, but I had no problems with Vista prior to SP1 either.
