Vista is going to be a new experience for Windows users, I've never used OSX longer then a couple minutes in a store but I'm guessing Vista is grabbing stuff from there. For me, it feels like an entire new computer. I wont say good or bad. I'm still using it, basically just web browsing, mp3ing, and pictures of the baby so its doing all that stuff for me.

I'm using the x64 version so my memory footprint is a bit higher, and when you first install it does its indexing stuff in those first idle times so it appears to use more memory/cpu over the course of a bootup.

The UAC got turned off after first 30 min, and mainly because I think it crashed the Nvidia driver installtion because it just keeps doing that "permission" crap.

The hold back for me will be upgrades, I need more RAM for 90% of the games I have. They say it will run much better on PCI-E motherboards because of the increased video bandwidth it sucks up... I have that first Athlon 64 generation of mobo with AGP only.
