I'm not convinced as a user myself, having looked at it on a few machines.

For us as a software house, our product runs very well on XP Pro. To move to Visa we'll have to:

- Change from MSDE 2000 to (min) SQL Server Express 2005, maybe later
- Fully test on three or four versions of Visa (Business, Ultimate...)
- Maybe change our compiler to something based on Phoenix

and whatever else it takes to make our stuff run on Vista. And in the end, our product will require more memory and run slower.

In short, yes it is.
