I won't go into all of the reasons why since that could take hours, and I'm sure some people here will disagree, but in my eyes they are better without question.

Argh! Let's not get into the old PC v Mac debate again!
While I'm generally happy with Vista, that's because I've got an ok spec PC. I personally wouldn't bother on a P4 or less, but on my core2duo (low one - 2x 1.8Ghz) with 3Gb ram (dirt cheap) and a couple of 256Mb gfx cards it runs fine. The only problems I have is a memory leak from some firefox add-on that I can't be bothered to try and identify.
I probably wouldn't use it on a laptop either if battery life was important, but I was with the anti-xp crowd back in the day and stuck with 98 for ages. It's kinda nice to get to grips with what will be (like it or not) the de facto standard OS for likely most of the next decade early on.
Yeah, it does hold your hand way too much and is overly-protective of stuff, but it's not hard to change permissions etc really. The stuff about it reporting your ever move to M$ is kinda worrying, but if they really want this info for evil purposes they'll find a way to get it from XP too.
I'm not exactly M$'s biggest fan just too fuckin Lazy to switch to Linux, although I prob will when I get another laptop. I don't doubt my PC would be faster with XP too, but I don't need it to be any faster so why take a step back? As for Macs....
