I have limited experience with Vista, but from what I've used its really turned me off. I've felt the hogging of resources on it, but I haven't really seen the difference between Vista and XP. Sure it looks a lot prettier, but that shouldn't justify using twice as much RAM. And the UAC is perhaps the most annoying feature ever (I had to turn it off). Then there is the DRM bloatware in there that tells me what I can and cannot due with the OS, and lets not forget the phoning home that Vista wants to do. Expose your ports to the world, or risk loosing functionality.
I'm sorry, but Vista while pretty just dosen't give enough bang for the buck. And the copious amount of paranoia from Microsoft combined with its love of giving blow jobs to the entertainment industry has devalued the product to a degree that doesn't make it worth buying or even worth pirating.
I'm sticking with XP until: 1) Microsoft hires someone to pull Bill Gate's head out of his own ass, or 2) Linux becomes much easier to use (I should never have to use the command line) and gets more software and drivers .
