I use Vista Enterprise at work, and it's fairly easy to get a handle on, once you get settled. So you can mark that as a problem.

I get users complaining about Vista after moving from another OS, and the problems they're finding are usually those that existed in Windows XP/2k, only amplified because it's a new environment.

Again, the Vista I use and troubleshoot is Enterprise, the big daddy of the lot.
The girlfriend has Home Edition, and it drives me mad. Like driving a car with a compass and a stopwatch. I'm sticking with my XP Media Centre for the time being, mostly due to lack of funds for a new computer:P
I never can understand the tendency towards editions. Home/Professional should be enough. The business model of fewer features/lower price just doesn't work for an OS.

That said, how it takes Vista an hour to copy a GB or two is beyond me.

Plus point for Vista - It needs more RAM than XP, so RAM manufacturers vastly increased production in anticipation of a mass uptake. Which didn't really happen. Hence, lots of cheap RAM for us.
