I've been using Vista for a year on a new computer and it is so much more compelling and functional than XP. I think it is much more stable than windows XP. I will say it is a memory and CPU hog, but if you are buying a new computer you can buy the resources you need to really give Vista a performance boost. I run a Dual Core 2.4 ghz cpu with 2 gig of ram. I overclock the CPU to 3.11 ghz and Vista screams.
The search tool on the start menu is amazing. Just type in a command, program, file, etc. and Vista finds it in seconds.
The list goes on and on, but I've come to really love it.
And most of the SP1 patches have already been made available to windows update users. There have been MANY (65) fixes and performance enhancements to Vista. some have boosted file transfer performance up to 35%.
I would not recommend upgrading a computer with Vista nor do I recommend the 64bit version. Do a clean install or a new purchase with the 32bit Vista and you should have a great experience.
