    I like it overall. Its not as big a difference as its made out to be IMO. I like Aero, but its nothing more than a look. It boots pretty fast. I like the security measures in place. It double checks EVERYTHING before making a move. All my hardware detected flawlessly. I've been able to play any game on it I want. Backward compatibility works MUCH better than it has in the past, but there are still a few apps that just won't run on it. Network set up is a little bit more aggravating than it use to be... well when you're not using DHCP, and the machine I have here at work needs a static address. I think I'm getting to the point I know my way around it so as I settle into that I like it more and more.

    Had to work with sound on both my work PC and home PC, and had to get a new McAfee beta for the work PC. Compatability mode works much better than XP. Some stuff i thinked they changed for the sake of changing, which is where a lot of folks will not like it until they get used to it.

    But I like it.

    Yeah, Total Protection for Small Business. Having some trouble with the beta tray agent needing permission to run, but i'm still on Vista RC1. I was gonna bump up to release before i worried about it. i haven't deployed so it's not a big deal right now.

    Does it look the same or are they trying to make it look and feel like a MAC.

    If one wants to move to Vista are there any special precautions one has to take to prevent losing ones files, etc?
