We got free copies of Vista here, and it lasted about a week or so before we reverted back to XP (with the NT ui).
Some people just gotta meddle with things and break it. If I wanted a Mac I would have bought one.
It might be worth upgrading to VISTA Enterprise Server - no one in their right mind would put a graphic intentsive UI on a racked server in a lights off server room; no one would buy IIS7 if it was slower than IIS6!
So Vista free for a year - will it stay on your PC that long?
For those who went to DevWeek2007 in London you would have got loads of feedback from those using Vista versa XP.
It might well be different if you you could check a tick box and have it run in lean mode or
uncheck it if I wanted a christmas tree/disco of a PC.
That aside.
Try doing pro C# development on it - boy you are gomma be frustrated.
Why click once when you can click twice?
Why have security pop-ups jumping up when one half of the OS talks to the other.
There is no profile settings for "granny knows best" to be unchecked.
So when Vista has SP2 then I will think about it.
Well try the Vista Server (IIS7 being the main motivator as that is way cool) but not on a PC that matters.
It would be interesting to see how well Vista 'Vanillia' might sell - or is 'lean&mean' vista also known as Linix;-)
Just opinions.
Someone will buy it and as long as they are happy...
