Fair enough, but what does going to Vista get me other than a cool look and
feel (which I found online anyways and applied to my XP Pro)? I have gotten
things in the mail and read a few things online, but nothing is really
making me say "man, I gotta get my hands on this next Windows version
because it is going to provide me xyz".

vista will likely have better connectivity to other windows systems.
on a home system there is windows backup. And media center does a nice
job playing DVD movies. in the corporate setting my guess it is Vista
hands down over XP. UAC may be a hassle but would you insist that your
users use it or not? Vista has better protection against hackers and
supposedly there is no need for users to run as administrator.

I think Microsoft would have done better to create an operating system that
was more business and programming oriented (thinking about WRKACTJOB vs.
Task Manager when I state that).

great idea! Windows and .NET is the premier programmable OS and run
time. that is why it is so successful. a lot of the windows software
could be better. what is great about windows is that you the
programmer have all the tools, interfaces and CPU speed needed to make
a better explorer, task manager, email client, ...
