I strongly agree that the question of "what will Vista do that XP doesn't" is going to be important for users. Individuals and companies can't invest in something new at the risk of undoing all the progress they had made with their computers. Especially companies, where the issue is not just one Vista license but hundreds. And especially since Vista costs a lot more than previous Windows releases. Even if you could trust that the software itself is going to be good -- and with Microsoft's track record, that's an understandably debatable point -- you just have to know what you're gaining for the costs of the disruption.
Which is to say only that knowing is good, and the list of pluses Miktar supplied does make me, at least, think a little more favorably of Vista.
Myself, I specifically ordered my new Dell before they stopped offering XP. I had no plans of being a guinea pig. I'd rather use my computer than troubleshoot it. But that's just my mileage. I did sign up for the cheap Vista upgrade, though I would certainly wait a while in case there's a patch soon.
