Eh, I think it's been bullshit from the ground up. There's very little that Vista does which XP doesn't do in some form, and while there are a few upgrades here or there, they aren't worth the tradeoff for all the extra bullshit it adds. You want to use it, be my guest, but I know for a fact that a significant portion of the software I use (a lot of which is community developed) hates Vista. That alone would be enough to keep me away from it, let alone the DX10 ideological clusterfuck, the potential performance hits (which by my research far outweigh the few potential increases), and the idiotic "let's just make it shinier" mentality everyone seems to have adopted in the last few years. They can shove it right back where it came from.
