Each version of Windows Vista has its own limitation.
* Windows Vista Starter Edition, for example, won't allow the user to
install dictionaries or fonts from the Internet.
* Windows Vista Business Edition, won't allow the user to create
documents that contain more than two writing systems.

For people considering switching to Windows Vista, my suggestion is:
* If on Win ME, or lower, upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04;
* If on WinXP, or Win2K either stay there, or upgrade to Linux;
* If on Server 2003, either stay on that, or upgrade to Red Hat's
Enterprise version;
* If on a Mac, stay there.  (I'd rather keep my Mac, than get a  Vista
box, even though I can't use my Mac (System 7.5) due to hardware
incompatibility issues);
* If you want to get Linux, but feel obligated to pay the Microsoft
tax, your choice is either SuSe, or Linspire;
* Or look at the niche distros, if you have a quasi-specialized need;
