I understand what you are saying. However, I just built a new machine
and I could have easily put Vista on there...but yet, I don't see a
compelling reason to do so. Perhaps there are some changes "underneath
the hood" but if they're not buying me anything...tangible...

like the Aero interface also. :).
I am not one of those that is telling everyone to go out and buy Vista to
replace XP (not saying that you are either). I agree with what Tim (I think
it was Tim) said in that people that are getting new machines should get
Vista and not XP. I just think that Vista is superior to XP on many fronts.
Sure, I think that based upon 3rd party drivers not being ready that MS
probably should have held off a bit longer. I hate the slow file transfers
(which as someone pointed out, should be corrected in SP1).
I am not out to try and change any one's mind on this list, we are all big
people that can make up our own minds. I just see so many people bashing
Vista that I wanted to let others know that there are many of us out here
that like Vista. It's kind of like going to the forums to look up an issue
with some hardware/software, you will mostly find negative stuff. That is
because the people that are not having issues are not posting or reading the
forums, only those with issues.

I disagree with you that it is only a GUI change. At a lower level, it is
much different than XP. Most of which most people will ever know about or
see.
I've beta tested many a MSFT app & know that it's more than a GUI
change but what I was referring to was the 2nd line you typed. If I
change Vista to look & act like XP then what's the use in buying
Vista? Sure it helps those that are inclined to shoot themselves but
many of us are behind a router & use common sense that ain't so common. ;-)
