my biggest qualm about Vista is that it doesnt radically change my user expirence and doesn't change what I can do with a computer.
Now, I'm not saying I have any ground breaking ways to do that, but I'm not an OS designer either.
So in the end, I may eventually buy a new (64 bit) machine that happens to have vista loaded. But I'm not running out to upgrade...and that's coming from someone who lives on the bleeding edge of technology.
More likely, I'll buy a mac pro and run vista in VMware or something (foregoing Areo).

I upgraded because it was essentially free (due to the MSDN subscription) and my hardware could handle it. My XP install was starting to act kid of flakey, and its nice to see that the act of upgrading seems to have cured the flakiness (for now).
And UAC went off 10 min after the install. The implementation is the single most annoying thing I've seen in ages. Especailly on a flat panel LCD screen.
