Im not really sure, i mean it "Looks Slick" with its aero interface and such and the extra little things like desktop search and gadgets but these operations can be easily emulated with already existing freeware, such as google desktop and others. In fact the only things that appeal to me about vista is that fact that it will be the only OS to have DirectX10 support so i guess i will be forced to buy it if i want to continue running the latest games, though i have heard of some serious issues with the display drivers included in the OS. I think waiting until they have ironed all the bugs out first would be the best option.
