Boy this version of Vista is really "the" ultimate!!
Whatever Windows promised is very tightly packed into this version. The interface is pretty smooth as well.
I won't say its addictive, but i would surely go to the lengths of saying that it does really 'grow' on you. Just like a good product.
The only time i felt like going back to XP was when some of the most popular applications like, Nero, and some DVD burning software and the most popular anti virus 'Kaspersky' was not able to install on Vista.
Otherwise it is a great experience.!!

Ultimate is essential if you want to do anything that used to be on XP Professional, such as switching the OS language, remoting into other computers and other things computer g33ks like me did on a regular basis.
I currently use Vista Home Premium. I tried the free upgrade but my sound device was not compatible so I did a fresh re-install last night. My drivers were all fine too. I guess I will wait about 6 months or so and try the upgrade again.
Home Premium is fine for basic use and regular end-users but I wouldn't recommend it to an IT professional. Also, the latest Java Runtime Environment messed up one of my drivers as it isn't compatible yet with this OS. That was another reason for the reload.
My base score is only 2.2 because of my graphics card. I'm not a gamer so I chose the second-best one to save a little money. If I had known that Vista was so much of a hog that my glossy screen would look a little muddy I would have spent the extra money on the better card. The rest of my scores were between 4.6 and 4.8. It's pretty sad. Windows XO Pro would run like a dream on this computer and the screen would be super-glossy.
