Wow, what a diversity of opinion. I've got Vista on a laptop (Dell for my kids) and during the same week I upgraded my computer (one I built for myself last year) from Windows 2000 to XP.

While XP does seem faster (although it's not fair to compare my desktop to a laptop), Vista has yet to break or depart to the BSOD. I finally got a BSOD with XP earlier this week - in fact I had to re-install the entire OS because a critical service broke during a virus scan that hung the machine.

The Vista laptop went from the box to being connected to my network in less than 20 minutes (most of which was getting my 26 character WPA code to the new machine).
