Vista for breakfast anyone?

I wonder how many people are now using Vista
I spend my life using computers and some of them have fairly old versions of operating systems. Nearly up to date now – but some will never become Vista solutions!
Yes – I have taken the plunge – and the main development computer is now running both Vista and Office 2007. Nothing really radical – since I had been using the release candidate installed in a seperate partition so there was no problems with hardware compatibility. However XP and Office 2003 were getting flaky – updates were not always installing properly and I did not want to go for a complete rebuild. So there we are – upgrade worked successfully – and I did not have retype all my passwords etc again!
Do I like the interface?
Yes, I do. But then I like the latest and the best. And I’m different from my neighbours – so I can crow for a little while!
Does it make my computer work better?
Not really – I think it is a much bigger operating system now – and even needs a DVD to do the install and as such there is quite a lot of “bloat”.
So there you are….
