This explains a bit why you might not find Vista as trying as many of us.
If you are familiar with Macs, and the way they work, perhaps the Vista OS is closer in tune with the Mac OS. Vista is probably very easy to use for new computer users, it's the older more savvy computer users that seem to have the most difficulty with it.
I call Vista "Windows for Dummies" as it seems to have dumbed down the interface making it easier for new basic computer users, but more difficult for advanced users to do the things they have become accustomed to doing on thier computer. Advanced users manage thier computers, they do not let the computer manage them. Vista attempts to manage the user, by managing itself irregardless of the users attempts at making thier own decisions.
Lab/speed tests by many various companies/magazines etc, prove that Vista is slower than XP in nearly all things. Further facts that Vista's service pack did not really improve any performance (despite MS's claims), and that XP's service pack 3 actually served to slow it down (Is MS trying to erase/hide the difference for future comparisons?).
The biggest computer manufacturers offer downgrade solutions for all thier pc lines as Vista has not been well received. When XP was introduced it was not immediately well received either, however it was picked up alot faster, and eventually found to be a much better more stable OS than its predecessors. Vista on the other hand has been a real rough start, and even a few years after being released it is still not being well received. Microsoft has tried threatening eliminating XP support, but notice how they have not?
