How do you describe Vista?

I was discussing Windows Vista last weekend with a good friend of mine. He asked me an interesting question “Bells and whistles aside, how is Vista as an operating system? Is it still just as functional?”
I had to think about it for a short time. It’s got a slightly changed layout under the start menu, new skin for the startmenu… The control panel is all sorts of changed around… Then I remembered how slow it seems under a configuration which is perfectly snappy with XP. The following was my response
“You walk over across the street to the bookstore, right? Well lets assume doing that is like Windows XP. Now let’s throw a 70lb weight on your back and have you do it. That’s Windows Vista. You can do the same things as before, but because you get some new bells and whistles you find out it takes you much longer, and is much more cumbersome than it was before.”
