"Almost a year on from the release of Microsoft's Windows Vista, only 13 percent of companies say they expect to move all desktops to the operating system, according to a survey released this week. Furthermore, adoption of Linux continues to gather pace, with a particular emphasis on the desktop emerging." As always, be sure to read these with a bag of salt on your desk.

I built a new desktop for myself - Core2Du0, 2GB dual channel RAM, SATA HDDs etc. Vista Home Premium runs like a champ on this setup. Windows Vista finds a majority of the drivers when the device is connected (e.g. Logitech IM webcamera). I use Pinnacle Studio 11 to do some heavy duty AVCHD editing off my SONY HDR-SR1 without a hiccup.
If anything, I think the computer hardware guys are at fault here. They give good specs on their machines for everything but the RAM in the default config. Why do I need a zillion gigabyte hard disk but only 512MB of RAM (which nowadays is grudgingly updated to 1GB)?
My MacBook came with piddly 512MB of RAM that was clearly inadequate to do anything with on Tiger. Once loaded to 2GB it ran fine. Same with Vista, get enough RAM, good drivers and watch it perform quite well.
Just my 2c worth.
