I'll get it when it's good.
......on the other hand, I'll stick with UNIX based OSes?

2. Application Incompatibilities
Even as we speak, there are literally dozens of applications that don't work properly with Vista. And we're not talking about garage-developed apps but high-profile programs such as iTunes, disc-burning apps, and pretty much anything that has to do with DVD ripping or viewing. And virtually any Java-based app that bundles the Java runtime automatically kicks the desktop back to Vista's Basic mode, obviating the performance benefits you get from running Aero.
9. Vista is Kind of Annoying
User Account Control is part of Microsoft's fix to prevent malware applications from taking advantage of Administrator privileges on infected PCs to install more malware. Every time an installer runs on your Vista PC, a prompt will ask for your permission to install the software in question. That's a great idea, but we think the implementation is pretty poor. The problem is the frequency of prompts. They come up so often that people will quickly learn to auto-click them, thus risking malware infections. Even worse, instead of forcing you to take any action that would require thought, the prompts don't even ask you to reenter your password (by default); all you have to do is click a button and the app will install itself. UAC is the PC equivalent of taking your shoes off in the airport security line. It makes you feel as though something's being done to protect you, but ultimately it doesn't do much to improve security. This isn't likely to change, but it should.http://www.maximumpc.com/article/10_reasons_you_dont_need_vista_today?page=0,3
I only scanned through but I found two things that I disagree with.
#2: iTunes works fine with all of my Vista computers.
#9: You can very easily turn UAC off and then it doesn't bug you any longer.
I probably didn't need to quote all that, but I did
