Anyone using Vista?

I am one of the millions who is hoping to jump Vista and go to Windows 7,
despite MS warning against this.
XP Pro serves me well, and, as I have remarked here before, it is the FIRST
OS for a PC which I have no complaints about. Running it on a 4GB dual core
laptop it has NEVER BSODed or hung or done anything unpleasant, and I have a
fair number of devices and media (including IIS which I use as a test web
server) which it is required to drive. (I am running the Media Centre
version)
The Beta pre-release of Windows 7 was released for download a few weeks ago
and I am putting this onto a virtual machine (Sun's VBox), just to get a
"feel" for it. I haven't done so yet as I have too much going on, but I'll
post my impressions here when I get time.
Meantime, I note the following...

I was wondering if anyone who actually HAS Vista would want to comment. I
think there have been copious comments from people who DON'T have it (or
had early releases of it) and was wonderng what people who have acquired it
recently think about it.
