I'd love to know if anyone out there has Vista on their PC yet, if so what do you think of it??

Personally I won't jump on the Vista bandwagon until at least 6 months to a year after it is released.
There's not a lot of great praise for it in the tech world and on their sites, so I'm not anxious to change.
Not only that but the System Requirements are all over the place. If you want Vista with all the bells and whistles you'd better have a new, near top end PC.
I just don't feel it's worth the $130 to buy an "upgrade" version until they have some time to work out the bugs that we all know will arise after release.
JMHO

I work for MS and have been running Vista pretty much since Beta 2 and just installed RTM on my machines this week (along with Office 2007). They're both fantastic products.
The new UI in Vista (Windows Aero) looks very cool. My only recommendation is to have a decent graphics card and of course, the more memory the better.

Vista has been looking great. Its really nice with better gui and graphics than the nicecest macs. Kinda reminds me of a nintendo Wii. Anyways, make sure you have some seriously pumped up hardware before attempting to run it. It is still buggy, although some people have gotten it to run perfectly fine....just depends on what you plan on running on it.

Vista still only has ONE desktop work area. In Linux I have 20 (yes twenty) available, plus I can shade/roll up each window by double-clicking its title bar (so all that shows is the title bar until it's double-clicked again). Vista is lame - it just doesn't have the features of Linux or the hugely powerful CLI - command line - of Linux.

Its sad that as the hardware develops to higher speed, the software especially operating systems, gets bigger and slow down the machine with all the eye candy and snick snack.
imagine a top machine today which could run Windows 98, that would be one fast machine. It would run 20x faster than one with Vista.

Vista has not been released yet. It will be released the first part of the year
