How bad is Vista, with as unbiased an opinion as you guys can give me?

The certified network analyst who sold me her used XP box because her job required her to upgrade her home system to Vista, hates Vista with a passion, and thinks XP is the best OS Microsoft ever produced.

That is as unbiased opinion as I can give you, because my opinion of both OSes and Microsoft isn't fit for a public forum.

Vista is the new Windows ME. While it may have some good aspects, there are to many flavors and it's reputation is poor. Plug & Pray. Even for non-tech people, Vista=crap. It doesn't have an overall wow factor that users need to have. It'll go down as a brilliant marketing failure. Pass and wait for the next OS. Microsoft is driving people, universities and corporations to Mac and Linux, which may not be a bad thing at all.
