I had the same feeling, until I saw the video previews of the applications built on the Avalon/Windows Presentation Foundation/Whatever graphics engine. I was blown away. Applications on a whole new level, with wild potential in creativity and possibility, really achieving massive productivity increases.
I'm very far from a Microsoft fan, I'm much more leaning towards Macromedia's Flash platform push with Flex. But overall, I'm very excited about what will happen with applications in the future, enabled by the Vista release.
I've tried to find the videos again on Google, but no luck yet.
