Right - I'll have a go first - I'm sure Zing will have something to say!

At the moment it's not worth the upgrade because of incompatibility with some software and hardware. It's still quite buggy - had a few crashes myself.

The current svchost.exe / CPU @ 100% issue exists on Vista - for XP there is a fix - none at the moment for Vista.

Aero is a resource hogger - I've disabled this on any Vista install - even if it's capable of running the Aero effects. There is absolutely no justification for it to "look nice" in a business environment or for a home user - whats the point?

I'd wait a few months for the problems to be sorted / SP1.
