I have installed vista corporate on several systems so far, here is my experience.
It installs fine, at first I hated the installer and now it is a minor annoyance but it is still not as nice as the OS X installer.
I have had it detect all hardware on any system I have installed it on
The new security system does not allow a lot of older apps to operate correctly, 2 major ones I have found is Acronis True Image and Maximizer 8. Once the new sudo security is turned off, then they will install.
User profiles are a HUGE problem, Vista uses a new profile scheme and is NOT compatible with 2000/XP profiles, forget about easily trying to get people to roam from a terminal server login, XP to a vista machine, this is a huge issue.
The new alt-ctrl-del by default on a network is very bad, changing users is a huge head ache.
There are a lot more things that I can go into by default, but the point I am trying to make is POLISH. This OS feels like it was rushed, that it just isnt finished and that no real people were consulted on it before it was released.
My 2 cents, flame away
