Resource hog, bugs, driver issues. It doesn't even work with Microsoft's own Zune player. I would never consider it as an upgrade for a current rig. Maybe when it comes time for a new build.

As it is not yet on the market, it is difficult to tell what all "disadvantages" there will be with it. I can predict that will be a favorite feature of XP that is not available or works differently in Vista (of course, it will be a different favorite feature for everyone). Some older software may not work well with it (normally for any new version of Windows). There is will be a learning curve to get familiar with its features and feel. And, of course, it will have bugs and holes that will require patches and service packs to fix it. But in the end, it will probably be no better or no worst then XP (or any of the other versions of Windows).
My own plan - wait at least six months to a year to give MS a change to tackle the major bugs, then switch.

Upgrading your machine to meet the minimum specs and software bugs with the release of Vista.

I've known many people who have tried running it (the latest public tests of the final build) and the consensus seems to be that it's Windows XP except prettier and slower. It's a massive resource hog (you need high specs just to run it somewhat properly).

Needs a lot of space, needs higher performance hardware installed, and its the new Windows so there will be lots of bugs

There are no disadvantages
