What's Vista got that XP doesn't?

I have only endured the misfortune of working with Vista one time. A friend of mine bought a new Toshiba A135-S4656 with vista preinstalled and i spent a week UPgrading to xp pro because even with a ram upgrade vista was simply unusable. it is far too power hungry and clunky for current hardware standards with no trade off. If they had kept, well, ANY of the features Longhorn was supposed to have, I'd be more willing to help Beta test it (which is essentially what all Vista users are doing its first year of release). I will cling to the functionality of my XP Pro and Ubuntu until such time as I recieve my first prompt from a new peice of non-microsoft hardware or software that requires me to have Vista and that i can't find a workaround for. Even then, i will re-evaluate the importance of said ware.

I survived WinME, i will survive Vista.
