Add some more weight on there for the analogy. I also spent some time with the beta which was horrendously slow on a system that was previously quite fast under XP. The final release improved things significantly over the beta but it still lags well behind XP. As Matt mentions, its no different from previous version upgrades but I've yet to see any benefit from Vista. I could do everything I needed under XP and much faster. Jeremy - I have to agree.

I kept telling myself that bogged down feeling I got while using it was due to the fact that the it was still in beta. I was wrong. To top off the slow factor, they rearranged things that only made using Vista more confusing (as you noted). I would make the 70lbs analogy more like 150lbs. I kicked Vista off of my computers about a week after the official release. XP and Linux from now on.

My thoughts so far have been it seems like a nicer looking, bloated xp, I haven't really noticed anything 'amazing' as far as usability except the much improved search located in the start menu, but I have not used it heavily though.

Despite having to trudge around with this "70lb weight on my back" I also realize Microsoft wont be releasing another OS for probably about another 5 years or so.
