I have it. Unless you actually prefer pretty stuff opposed to faster operating environment. then stick to XP or OSX.
It is pretty and in most instances snappy but some of the new features make the work flow slower IMO.

*bump* I want to know too. Right now my computer is all f-ed up and I'm thinking about starting all over again with a new OS. But I've heard that Vista slows down. How much slower does it run? Is it noticeably slower? Do you think it's worth doing? The progs I use are PS, Illy, Flash, and AE. I'm on dual 3.6 Zeon Dell Workstation, runs like crap right now.

Bought the OEM version from newegg.com for around $130 with next day shipping. Have everything set up and I haven't had any issues. Seems to run faster than XP did and the Aero theme is beautiful.
If you get it just be careful with screwing with your registry. I tried to change the default program files directory to another drive and I had to change it back so it could find some database information.

I installed it with success with bootcamp on may mac book pro
..it is pretty cool. It is going to be a long time titan. Be aware that it is a very serious resouce hog. I turned off the transparency stuff and it gave me twice the available ram. I do like it overall. But, I could also say if adobe had more universal binary support i would go full osx. Just because I don't care to have 2 os's.
again, I had not one single problem with my vista install or use. Strong OS.

(Feb 3 07, 20:30)This is true for a lot of people. I went around and checked for drivers for all my hardware before upgrading. The only problem I ran into is that Creative has yet to provide a driver allowing me to listen to DVD audio in DTS. I figure I can just watch them on my TV until then.

Vista is a pile of shit.
We just got a new Dell shipped here with Vista installed. Couldn't go 5 min. before our first error message. Now I have the job of getting all of our old software/hardware to work with the new machine.
Do NOT get Vista. I repeat. Do NOT get Vista It is a pile of shit right now.

Anyone who does have Vista installed can not respond right now as their computer is not working.
Give them about a month until they go back to XP.
