Vista for Breakfast?

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….
