I've had experiences with Vista that run the gauntlet from horrible to fine. It seems that some hardware configs just don't get along with Vista and I haven't been able to find any consistent reasons why (or why not). I know it doesn't work on my rig for much of anything but running Vista itself. If I try to run a 3rd party program it's done. Thank heavens for Dual Boot OS's.

Still, I look forward to the day when Vista begins to work better as there is upside potential in the OS. My feeling is that MS "tried" to make Vista intuitive--that it would know what a user wants to do. And that aspect of the program is getting in the face of many users who like to stream-line their systems for specific purposes. I'm not positive about that though...

Video is still the biggest hurdle in my experience. It's always happy to drop me to the desktop regardless of the driver version I use... Vista performance seems to be very platform dependant.
