Its is not so much Vista does not work but when you compare to the previous O/S, then you start to see how it does not live up to the expectations. If you take away the eye candy which most businesses would not use, the hardware requirement is higher in all cases then the current PC's hanging about most companies.

Copying from one Medium to another (DVD to HD, HD-> HD etc ) is much slower for some reason then either XP or Linux. Copying across the Network again is very slow by a big factor - both of these will be addressed in SP1 so they say.

The UAC is annoying and I cannot understand why it has to Darken the screen on order to pop up a box to ask the question - this alone will not stop people running things they maybe should not have, as they will just click OK anyhow.
