At this moment I am telling all of my customers to not upgrade to the new operating system. Though Vista performs just fine on older computers that do well with Windows XP (sans the Aero UI).

Vista is perfect for new computers, and as hardware manufacturers begin to meet the requirements of Vista there will be a larger userbase.

If you really feel compelled to switch to Windows Vista, be sure to run Microsoft’s Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor and Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0.

Part 2: Windows Vista Kernel

It is not light reading, but it expains a lot about the thought process by Microsoft to try and get it right.
