>> just like there are good reasons to upgrade to Vista
Uh, name one, please. I dare you.
The fact of the matter is, there is no "good" reason to upgrade to Vista. Aero is crap. UAC is a joke.

Now that I've used Vista for 18 months on 6 different computers (some not even new), I think I can come up with a reason or two.
1. Being able to use 4+GB of RAM
2. Kernel patch protection
3. Much more secure
4. Offloads graphics tasks to GPU, so all that eye candy has little to no impact on CPU.
5. Infinitely better wireless network management
Those are just the objective reasons. More subjectively:
1. How did I ever live without the sidebar?
2. just type "ph" and I'm running Photoshop.
3. video wallpaper, and using

Absolutely right. Two steps forward, three steps back.

@ alienvenom
You do realize that you can disable UAC and Aero.....right? Honestly, your anti Vista argument is weak. Try again.

Yeah, I put Vista on an older (but still not totally junk) Dell laptop and was having performance issues, until I switched to the "Classic" graphical style. It looks quite a bit like XP (except with the Vista-style Start menu) and performs almost identically. You get all the little UI improvements (win+# to launch Quicklaunch shortcuts, Start menu search, wireless management, etc.) with little to no performance cost. If everybody that bitches about Vista would try the Classic interface, I think a lot of them would stop having problems.
