Windows Vista has had something of a troubled birth. Hyped features were pulled, and the project as a whole took far longer to complete than expected, partly due to standing still while MS dropped everything to work on WinXP Service Pack 2, but in part also due to a decision to "reset" and scrap much of the new development. This has led some commentators to dub the project a "train wreck."

Definitely agree. Had been using Vista for 2 weeks now and it really feels better than XP, ages better, expecially about networking.
I've been shy to upgrade because I wasn't sure my software could work fine but now they released Visual Studio SP1 for Vista most things are fine so decided to upgrade.
I found a few big improvements and lots of small ones which make your life much easier than with XP. My 1GB laptop runs Aero and Vista simply fine (though I will probably buy more RAM, but that was planned for XP too) and after 2 weeks I'm so addicted to such little improvements I would never turn back to XP. Hell, they managed to have even classic Explorer redesigned to be very productive.
Most people talk about Vista without trying it. This doesn't mean you should open ur wallet and buy Vista now but if you're planning to buy a new PC, definitely order it with Vista, not XP.
Maybe only gamers should try before they buy.
