I've not seen any real productivity enhancements... just a pretty interface - which is debatable compared against that of a Mac... however, Mac's lack true enterprise support at this point - so I'm still waiting on that little "undersight" to be fixed before I plunge headlong into becoming a mac fanboy!<br><br>Let me just say that as far as waiting 5 years to release Vista and it being what it is ... I was not impressed with that in mind... but I'm not seeing any bugs - atleast not yet ;-) I would agree in general with your post.

Let me just say that as far as waiting 5 years to release Vista and it being what it is … I was not impressed with that in mind… but I’m not seeing any bugs – atleast not yet ;-)

The answer, I think, is nothing of any consquence. Some of the things that I did well, I can’t do the same way now. Some of my old programs don’t run anymore. I had to find alternates. I am not more productive and I am not better off for making the switch.

What I do have, however, is more “applications not responding” errors. I have a more Maclike interface and more compatibility issues with devices like my smart phone and camera. (in fact, I have to use my Mac for my camera… have never been able to get it to work with Vista.).

I don’t recommend moving to Vista. I think that there are many better choices than Vista. I think that the world would be a better place if everything was Mac friendly.
