This happens every time a new windows comes out. Everyone complains and says it's the worst windows evar, and blah, blah, blah. But eventually everyone will go out and buy it.
Sine my computer isn't assembled yet (

) I haven't gotten to use my copy of Vista Home Premium. But my dads laptop has it, so I've gotten a bit of time with it. Haven't explored it much, but it basically seems like a nicer looking XP with more backup features and a fancier multimedia player. I know there is more stuff, but I haven't used them yet. But one thing I would say is that I think it is more user friendly for computer newbies than XP was.
