It does everything XP did for me, just twice as fast. We've been running benchmarks for the last few months since RC1 and the early betas.
Vista is faster, more economical on memory, and it runs exceptionally well on laptops that could barely run XP.
I'm a geek. It's new. It's shiny. I'm tired of using the same old OS for so many years, I want a change in my life. This is a personal viewpoint, and it's not one I tell others usually because I know how people respond to it. But it's how I work. I get bored with things, and Vista is new.
But on a technical level, like I said - it's XP, but faster and stronger.
I enjoy the MacOS 'stacks' ripoff, and use it constantly.
Here at the office, we use the shadowfolders during the layout process, since it allows us decent redundancy.
Of course, Desktop Gadgets, another MacOS ripoff, are fun and functional.
I love that I can set volumn levels on an application-specific level.
Networking is much faster - considering we copy around 1000 GBs a day here at the office, more when the layout process kicks into high gear, we're all quite happy at the improved speeds.

Does that answer any of your questions?
